Looks like New Center is getting one of Plum Market's "small format stores" along with the previously mentioned Ally Financial Center location downtown.
I'm very excited with the concept being put forward for the jail site & extra space opened up by the "boulevarding" of 375. As LMich mentioned these are early renderings that don't even include final hudson's site design, hopefully as the project moves forward we will see the design evolve .. definitely trying a bit too hard at the moment.

On its current trajectory, Plum Market would open two Detroit stores by mid-2019.
The Farmington Hills-based specialty grocer and food service company announced plans a year ago to open a cafe and market this spring in the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center in the New Center area. And earlier this month it said it signed on to open in the Ally Detroit Center skyscraper downtown in the summer.
The two Plum Market Kitchens won't be full grocery stores. The location at the Ally center, owned by Dan Gilbert's Bedrock LLC, will sell "basics" such as condiments, bags of tortilla chips, cut fruits and vegetables, and possibly select seasonal produce, Plum Market co-founder and CEO Matt Jonna said.

Plum Market will enter a restaurant-laden section of downtown without much in the way of grocery options. City Market two blocks east sells some fresh produce. Further east of downtown is Detroit's first Gordon Food Service on Jefferson Avenue and an incoming small-format Meijer nearby.
The city could also see more Plum Market stores in coming years. Jonna said he sees opportunity elsewhere in Detroit to sell prepared food and groceries as more young people choose to live in the city.
"We could have several more Plum Market Kitchens and even a full Plum Market store in the city with the way it's moving right now," he said.

Report: Cobo naming rights in 'negotiation stage'

-Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority moving forward on negotiations
-Cobo GM said authority is in the "nitty-gritty of just finalizing the deal"
-Timeline for the deal has not been set
Cobo Center's regional governing authority began shopping around the naming rights because its annual $5 million state subsidy from taxes on hotels, liquor and cigarettes is set to dwindle to nothing by 2023.
Mayor Mike Duggan has voiced support of the change at the venue, which is named after Albert Cobo, a 1950s-era mayor whose legacy is marked by racially charged housing policies and the demolition of African-American neighborhoods in the name of urban renewal.

The Motown Museum's expansion plans are getting a $500,000 boost.
The grant from the DTE Energy Foundation was announced Monday by Robin Terry, CEO and chairwoman of the museum. The money will help support the development of an education and community engagement space at the museum for young artists that also will house the museum's summer camp programs.
The $50 million expansion will be built around the existing museum, which includes the original studio and famed "Hitsville U.S.A." sign.
The museum has raised $16.5 million since it announced the expansion in October 2016.
