Yes, when they go before the city council for approval, they'll have to provide technical information. But, given that the city is rather behind the times as it concerns online information, you'd probably have to be physically in Detroit at the time of the meeting to get an info packet on the project. They introduced this to the DDA/DEGC the other day, but all that body is looking at are the financials of the project, of course.
Yeah, it is a rather conventional building for an uncoventional site. They could have done something a bit more daring, something that would have hugged the corners of the awkward block, better. It would have been difficult given the tiny direct frontage the block has on the park, though. I guess on the corner they could have left a triangular-shaped plaza, and then had the entrance facing this plaza and thus facing the park.
