^^ Thanks for the quick mock up, the newest rendering shows the top of the building should have a kind of crown i wonder what that would look like from this angle?

....

Here's a cool rendering i came across on the daily detroit of the Campau Connector Greenway.

It also seems the first building renovated as part of this plan would be the Historic Stone Soap Building the abandoned building right next to the Orleans Landing Project. Not much real information on what will be done but there was a quote that makes this seem like it could be an interesting project.

Historic Stone Soap Building first up for RiverFront redevelopment

The adaptive reuse of this building should align with the ideals outlined in the East RiverFront plan: Community, equity, efficient urban design. For this redevelopment, the RFP stresses authenticity, in that,

“The East Riverfront has an industrial heritage reflected in the architecture of the Stone Soap Building. The proposed development should serve as a leader for sound urban design and development principles that complement the nature of the district. Development should promote the heritage and historic character in and around Franklin Street. Special consideration shall be given to projects that add increased vertical density in a unique modern intervention to the existing structure and demonstrate the feasibility and sensibility of such improvements.”
