RenCen could use a major renovation after all these years.
General Motors Co. is planning a big renovation of its Detroit headquarters at the Renaissance Center this summer, Sherri Welch of Crain's Detroit Business reports:
The 120,000-square-foot renovation will include an addition to extend the section of the complex housing the People Mover station to Jefferson Avenue, Tim Mahoney, chief marketing officer and leader, global Chevrolet, and global marketing operations for GM, said during a media briefing Friday.
The 8,000-square-foot addition will include a 70-foot wide by 80-foot long exterior video screen and reconfiguration and expansion of what is now the “GM World” vehicle display space to a larger area with interactive exhibits and the potential, Mahoney said, to host vehicle unveilings in the future.
