DETROIT | HUGE list of Never Built

I was personally surprised at just how much of Detroit hasn't been built. The Great Depression, the recession in the 80s, and the current/recent recession have all killed development that would have drastically changed the city. This'll be quite a list.

There's probably a good chunk of buildings I missed, but this ought to suffice for now. I mainly just saw multiple never built Detroit buildings and thought it'd be useful to fit them in one spot.
