According to a press release from Dan Gilbert's Bedrock real estate company, they "will begin pre-leasing for its residential units at Book Tower in April as the development prepares to open this spring."  The Detroit News has a free link to a story about it in today's paper:

This is really great news for Detroit.  The Book Tower is a great icon from the salad days of Detroit.

It could now use some updating but here is the Wikipedia article for the Book Tower in case somehow you are not familiar with it:

YouTube recommended to me this video of the history of the Book Tower.  It's a little overly dramatic but it still gives a good outline of its history:

But it is restored and almost ready for new tenants.  Here's a recent story and tour from WDIV:
