Tony Hawk helps bring skate park to Bedrock development site in Detroit
By ANNALISE FRANK. Crain's Detroit. July 20, 2017.
Tony Hawk is helping bring a skate park to Bedrock LLC's future Monroe Blocks development in downtown Detroit.
The 4,600-square-foot public skate park and art installation, called Wayfinding, will open Aug. 16, according to a news release.
Hawk, the well-known professional skateboarder, helped design the skate park and is scheduled to attend the opening. The installation by artist Ryan McGinness is being produced by Detroit-based Library Street Collective and the Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills.
Dan Gilbert-owned Bedrock and the Quicken Loans Inc. family of companies financed and own the project. Bedrock declined to disclose how much it cost.
....
Monroe Blocks, bounded by Randolph Street, Bates Street, Cadillac Square and Monroe Avenue, will be home to a mixed-use development with retail, residential and office space. The installation will stay open until construction on Monroe Blocks breaks ground around January — but Wayfinding's mobile design means it could move to another location afterward.

Supposedly, any new details about the Monroe Block project will come out between now and January otherwise I'm still assuming the information provided about the project so far is preliminary.
