When you said structure, I was assuming you meant parking structure.  The Residential building is being designed by Design Plus.  The Parking structure, as you see it in the rendering, was just our conceptual designer putting something in there as a place holder for our original concept.....

One of the buildings on Garfield that I wrote about a while back was on fire earlier today.  The roof and top floor were pretty much destroyed.

Found this article today:

Vacant land will be transformed into a five-story $20 million 155,000-square-foot residential apartment and retail building on Woodward Avenue. It will be called Studio One Apartments. Wayne State University (WSU) will spend an additional $12 million to construct an 800-space parking structure and pay for other site improvements that will support both the residential and retail components of the project.

The article is mostly about Western Michigan Developers coming over to the East Side.  Has the same hand rendering that was posted before

For this developement to be extrodinary, it should fill the entire block. Architects and urban planners will tell you that gas stations don't belong in urban areas, especially on an avenue like Woodward near Downtown.

^Totally agree!  The Churchs Chicken across the street too.  It HAS to be the next to go.  Land is getting to be too valuable along Woodward to have a crappy drive thru restaurant taking up all that space.  It attracts a LOT of garbage and is far from easy on the eyes.  Especially wedged between the Garfield Building, the Church...and the gas station across the street.  There's gas stations at Warren and I-75 for all your gas guzzling needs.  Signs can be posted to direct motorists either to that location or to the stations further up across I-94.

Hip hip for the ground breaking though!   It's only a matter of time that the Marathon gets the boot.

Rarely do you ever see a project in Detroit go this fast from the release of a rendering and media annoucement to groundbreaking.  Great, great news!

[jbr12]

I recently asked the same question about that gas station and they will not be moving anytime soon unfortunately.   I am excited for the ground breaking on this however   I'll post pictures if I get a chance to go

Does the project have a website?

[jbr12]

I know they are getting one ready, but as of right now its not online... If I find any more information, I'll be sure to put it up here

In the mean time, there is this:

This is going to be a great development.  Im curious though, in the rendering there is a similar structure on the east side of woodward from what they are doing.  Is that part of the development or perhaps a future project?

[detwaa84]

Are you talking about the one that seems to be on the lot next to the MOCAD?

[Zissou]

I believe thats the one.

My brother goes to wayne state and once took a trip to the MOCAD. He said one his art teachers told him the lot will be developed soon. She said Wayne State is interested in putting up a parking structure with office or condos on top. So maybe this was a clue for their future developement of that site.

We have known about this project for a while now.

Hes talking about what is seen in the rendering across Woodward from the project.  There is clearly something next to MOCAD in the rendering that isnt part of this project.

[Lmichigan]

It's probabl just some conceptual 'filler' building.  And, it helps to note that that rendering was an earlier conceptualization of what Wayne State was seeking to fill those sites to begin with.  I wouldn't put too much more stock in the rendering than that.
