All of the new stuff is setback from Woodward so as not to overwhelm the historic studion building. The rezoning is largely being requested to allow multi-family residential (and more of it) and less parking on the site by-right (B-5 doesn't require any off-street parking).
Good to see this one still moving forward. This is keeping with their late-2018 ground breaking.

LMich, the property isn't on Woodward but a block west on 2nd Avenue and right across the street from a single family residential area, which may have something to do with the zoning.
Here's a few photo updates from the past few weeks of various lesser known projects. I got to see the lobby of The Siren Hotel/Wurlitzer Building but was asked not to post my photos online by employees. If you get a chance to take a look inside, I highly recommend it. Definitely unique.
Corktown Lofts, a Bedrock project on Fort Street near downtown.
Wayne County Community College has started on their downtown campus expansion.
St. Rita Apartments
A renovation I came across of a formerly dilapidated building at 18600 Woodward, near 7 Mile.
Land clearing has begun for the American toll plaza for the Gordie Howe International Bridge. This photo barely hints at how massive an area is being leveled.
