One of the final pieces of the puzzle for Dan Gilbert's redevelopment of the old J.L. Hudson’s site on Woodward in downtown Detroit seems to have fallen into place.
A tentative agreement with the city will let Gilbert to buy a 900-space garage under the site, Louis Aguilar of The Detroit News reports.
The parking deal appears to be the last major roadblock in Gilbert’s plan to transform the site into a showstopper property that's expected to have 250 residential units, 225,000 square feet of mixed-use commercial or retail space and “programmed civic space," Aguilar writes.
The board of the city’s Downtown Development Authority, DDA, a unit of the Detroit Economic Growth Corp., meets Wednesday afternoon to vote on the sale.
