Also appears that the apartment tower has been downsized from 30 to 27 stories.

I wonder how many feet a reduction of the three floors will translate to in the tower height? One article mentions project redesigns led to an increase in the cost, so could the be keeping the height while sacrificing floor count?

30-27 is a very negligible difference. I think most of the cost here will be spent on the underground parking and the public area.

Really like how the red looks with the glass, hope it turns out like that.

Last I heard the tax credits were going to be extended as they were set to expire a few weeks ago. Their target start date now is quarter 3 with construction starting on the apartment tower first instead of the hotel

There will soon be an unprecedented demand for hotels, as people go crazy traveling after being unable to do so for over a year. The Mid should not have held off construction. Completing in 2022 would have been perfect to take advantage of this spike in demand.

BTW I love the location as it is across the street from the Orchestra Hall, home of the Detroit Symphony.

How far away is the proposed Mid site from the proposed Target store site?

About 600 feet. If it was any closer, it'd literally be the next lot over. Unfortunately, there's a single story Whole Foods there.

Target lists all future locations here: https://corporate.target.com/about/l...pcoming-stores

If you click on the link for the Detroit Midtown store, you are redirected to this Google Maps URL:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wo...4!4d-83.057965

Target is often praised for its small-format stores, but I have heard that the new one in downtown Ann Arbor is a major disappointment (I haven't seen it myself yet). Hopefully this one in Detroit will be much better.

Lawmakers may once again give extension to stalled development in Midtown Detroit

Quote:
legislation introduced by Rep. Abraham Aiyash, D-Hamtramck, would let the developers working on The Mid project have until Dec. 31, 2026, to have seven stories of a 15-story building completed, an extension of more than three years on its current deadline of Sept. 14.

If that deadline is not met, they are set to lose $8.97 million in brownfield tax credits that would finance the project, the most recent disclosed cost of which from several years ago was $377 million across multiple phases. Representatives for the project two years ago said that if the tax credits went away, the project dies.

Lawmakers in June 2021 gave the Sept. 14 deadline at the 11th hour of its previous deadline to start construction on the tower, slated for the area of Woodward and Mack avenues where the 3.8-acre site has been wrapped in a scrim with the words "Midtown better together" for years. No construction has taken place.

The bill was introduced last week and appeared to be on a fast track. The House Tax Policy Committee heard testimony and approved it Wednesday. The legislation was posted on the House agenda for a vote Thursday, but the chamber did not vote.

"Questions were raised as part of caucus that we will work to address. So we removed the bill from the agenda until those questions can be answered," said Amber McCann, spokesperson for Democratic House Speaker Joe Tate of Detroit. She declined to elaborate.

Let's see if this actually gets started...
Long-delayed Woodward Avenue development gets another chance from lawmakers



Quote:
With a deadline looming, the state House of Representatives has given a long-stalled Midtown development another chance at life.

A proposed development called The Mid, north of the Whole Foods Inc. store at Woodward and Mack avenues, currently has a brownfield tax credits deadline of Sept. 14 to have seven stories of a 15-story building completed as part of what most recently was a $377 million project.

Legislation passed Wednesday afternoon, 74-33, would give developers until Dec. 31, 2026, to meet that requirement in order to receive $8.97 million in credits. Those backing the project have said the credits are needed or else it dies.

Fifty-two Democrats and 22 Republicans supported the bill. Thirty Republicans and three Democrats opposed it.

The legislation still needs Senate approval.Crain's reported on House Bill 4829, sponsored by Rep. Abraham Aiyash, D-Hamtramck, in June. Lawmakers added a provision requiring quarterly reports to the Michigan Strategic Fund detailing the percentage of the project completed, the expected completion date and the names of contractors and subcontractors.

Aiyash did not make himself available for comment after the vote. An email was sent to Emery Matthews, a development adviser on the project, late Wednesday afternoon.
