I sure he can but the question is how much will he risk and or be able to get financing for even Dan Gilbert is going to struggle to get financing for a project with an estimated 400k sq ft of office space in this market. The redevelopment of Campus Martius is something long desired by city leaders, the scale and quality of project was always going to rely partly on its designation by the state as one of the so-called “transformational projects”.

The rest of the national theatre has been torn down.

Not sure where else to ask this, but have we learned any more details on the new Monroe Blocks or "Development at Cadillac Square?"

The original plans had numerous renderings, programming layouts, building heights etc. This new plan has produced one ground-level rendering. For a major development supposedly breaking ground in a couple of months (after the NFL Draft), we know surprisingly few details.

I share your frustration. This was/is to be my favorite project in the city.

I remembered seeing an image back in the spring of a model that didn't look like the original renderings. I just found it on the other forum, but I don't know anything else about it.

Aye, it was my favorite project too in original form.

I just hope that what goes in is not all low rise stuff...I really hope they can find a way to put something with a fair amount of height into it.

How far back did this get pushed with all the RenCen chatter?

animatedmartian · #**189** Posted **Jul 22, 2024, 2:36 AM**

There's nothing specifically that would make either projects related to each other. So to say it's pushed back just because of the Ren Cen development is pure speculation.

Sorry for the paywall.

Bring back the playground.

Wonder if another redesign has occurred. There's not really any new information in the article other than more information will come out at the next city meeting later this month. Basically an update for an update.

COSM coming to Cadillac Square.

I hope this supports other types of programming...planetarium? Music? Education? Classic Movie nights?

Not great news about the project, but it's still moving ahead at least.

Office space scrapped from major Bedrock development downtown

Quote:

...

"What’s the logic of this? To zoom out, COVID changed downtowns, this downtown and downtowns across the country," Jared Fleisher, a top Gilbert deputy, said during Wednesday's DDA meeting. "We know for downtowns to thrive, they have to be live/play. It’s all about betting on residential population and creating the kind of entertainment amenities that are the new lifeblood of our downtowns. Banking on offices ain’t gonna do it for our downtowns, and that’s what you have here."

A Bedrock spokesperson on Thursday confirmed that softness in the office market resulted in the removal of the office component.

Other images from Freep of the Market Hall and sqaure footages.

Interesting to note that 0.76 acres will be left for surface parking. Possibly unusual given the site's location that could have easily been a multi-story parking garage. Maybe a sign that there is still hope for something significant there?

Also, groundbreaking on the COSM portion is scheduled for April 17th while phase 2 is scheduled for October 2026 with strict conditions if the deadline is missed.

There was no hope to use the original 35 floor tower design at the front next to campus Martius as a residential bldg with Cosm and the food hall designed to nicely fit in next to it? It really seems like a wasted opportunity…and embarrassing.

They report the Residential portion of the next phase is between 250 and 280 units. Given the size of the lot do you think it'll be more likely a mid rise building or do you think they'll go high rise? I have not seen any news for a bit, but I did read they have until October 2026 to begin the 2nd phase.
