Dan Gilbert's team may be dreaming big.
Kirk Pinho of Crain's Detroit Business reports that Gilbert's team is considering a proposal to build a 60-story high-rise on the vacant two-acre site on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit where J.L. Hudson's department store once stood.
Pinho writes:
At that height, it would dwarf virtually everything surrounding it, including the nearby David Stott Building, which is 38 stories in Capitol Park at 1150 Griswold St.
The 60-story height is one of several possibilities being weighed by Gilbert's Rock Ventures LLC, I'm told. It's not known exactly how many designs are under consideration. Rock Senior Communications Manager Carolyn Artman said the company "doesn't comment on rumors and speculation."
