I know, I've been waiting for one too. All this development progress has been slipping through my fingers and I haven't been able to document any of it! I've been meaning to offer something for a long time, but it doesn't appear I will be able to until at least next weekend.
Orally, I can offer for those that don't live in Detroit:
South Univ. Village has started building upward. The garage has its Forest-facing wall built and now just needs to expand southward (the length). The mixed use buildings have the first of the steel errected.
MGM Grand: almost completely finished on the exterior. Lots and lots of landscaping and just as impressive is the utility infrastructure around the premises...a major freshness vibe to the rather "drab/dead" conditions seen on the west side of dwntwn.
Motor City is fascinating at night. I don't even know the best way to describe it. The roof looks like it is nearing completion, but the bread factory hasn't been covered yet...just preped.
Greektown is STILL the same level as the garage, but the lower 3 levels are progressing w/ facade as is the connector across the street and the skywalk. I'd imagine the first of the glass might come within a month's time.
Willy's has new windows, which also make it look incredible.
Casino Windsor's new hotel is now the tallest new building in the region and the tallest on the Windsor skyline. The best angle to view its height as being taller than the other hotel tower is from Belle Isle.
Shed construction has started in Eastern Market.
Brush Park North has begun and some of the 3-story wood frames have been constructed along John R.
Book Cadillac has nothing new visually, just the shell of the new addition in the back.
The Griswold is just about to lay foundation and the bus terminal excavation/construction is progressing well.
Crystal Lofts and the Kahn Bldg across the street have windows and look great. Crys. Lofts just needs windows on its new penthouse level and where the grocery store will go.
Also, there's been a really nice renovation on Charlotte Street that I haven't heard anything from...just seen it. I'll get a pic of it next time.
Sigh...now I want to go out and take pictures...I need patience as much as you!
