Plans were recently filed for a 14-story hotel. I'm not holding my breath on anything happening though...
Long-delayed development next to Detroit's Whole Foods may be moving forward
Quote:
It’s been a difficult slog for The Mid vision, but facing a looming state-imposed deadline for public financing, the development team anticipates beginning site work soon. Construction is expected to start later this fall at the vacant 3.8-acre site on Woodward Avenue north of Mack Avenue near Detroit's Whole Foods Inc. grocery store and the Detroit Medical Center campus.
The city has received recent plans for part of the project, a 14-story hotel, according to public records made available online late last month. “We look forward to sharing much more detail about this important development in the very near future,” Dietrich Knoer, president of Southfield-based Q-Partners LLC, said in an emailed statement.
That entity is connected to Mohammad Qazi, president and CEO of Southfield-based Ciena Healthcare, who paid $15 million for the site in 2018. Knoer has previously been a top executive with Southfield-based Redico LLC, Peter Cummings' The Platform LLC and the Eastern Market Development Corp.
It’s been five and a half years since Qazi and his development team first floated The Mid project, which has encountered buzzsaws ranging from financing challenges to the COVID-19 pandemic.
