Summary

  1. Ford’s purchase of the once famous Michigan Central Station is a major statement on their plans for Detroit. Will Ford’s commitment to Detroit and revitalizing urban areas, specifically Corktown be enough to attract young talent Ford is looking for?
  2. How will the increase in the cost of building material impact construction around the city?
  3. With construction beginning on the Gordie Howe International Bridge, it looks like the end of Delray. Will this new international bridge help to spark a revival of Detroit civilization?
  4. What strategies can developers take on to keep construction costs down, such as modular construction or innovative technology?
  5. Hudson's Tower, Detroit’s future tallest building is underway and updated plans recently came out, revealing that the building will be larger than originally planned. How is the project coming along and how can you still get a piece of the pie?
