Nice to see these early signs of Detroit recovery, especially rehabbing and redeveloping existing great historic architecture instead of just tearing everything down to slap up cheap blue glass boxes. I won't live long enough to see the full recovery, but it seems they're on the right track.
I absolutely love positive videos of Detroit. Growing up south of Detroit we always had to go to Detroit for all the big events. The drastic change from the 90s, early 2000s to today is dramatic. I really ask people to come visit Detroit/Ann Arbor/Toledo. So much to do in such a large, easily accessible region.
Nothing like those 100+ year old gems, now we've got all the cookie cutter buildings going. my metro area has been building a lot of senior living complexes and apartment buildings and they all look alike. Here's to Detroit and all its citizens, I think you've got the most beautiful buildings of any major city in the USA. it would be great to see people move back in and call it home.
I’d say the rebirth of downtown started with the redevelopment of the Book Cadillac hotel that had also been vacant for 2 decades and at least 2 hundred million went into that project opening in 2008 as a revived hotel and upscale condos !
I’ve been downtown working on the buildings since 88, I opened up most you mentioned and you are 100% right on #1. I agree and was thinking you were going to leave it off and was happy to see we agree! I love the Detroit buildings and the Met went from worst to best!
Thanks for the video. Although I'm on the west coast, I'm kind of a Detroit afficianado having watched the architectural revitalization for the past few year. I'd have to say the Michigan Central Station is probably #1 due to it's size, scope and it was so emblamatic of Detroit's urban collapse.. But it's your video so keep up the great work!
Thanks! Glad you find this kinda stuff cool too! And I think you have a fair point with the grand central station being the biggest and most impactful... definitely coulda been moved up the list.
This rebuilding has been going on even longer. I remember seeing downtown Detroit as it was from 1999-2009, when the company I worked for was routinely supporting an exhibit at the Auto Show (NAIAS). Over that decade the downtown area went from being 2/3rds wrecked to only 1/3rd. You just showed me what's continued since then.
Detroit has some super cool history for sure, definitely worth a deeper dive than my video was able to get into if you have the time! Thanks for watching, appreciate the kind words!
I ALWAYS ENJOY seeing all the either new or redeveloped buildings here in Detroit …. Ideally I would have liked to have gotten views of at least the lobbies of these buildings you featured in this video… I know some are rather breathtaking to those of us that enjoy architecture from the era of these old structures

Is it just me or is Little Caesar’s Arena nondescript at best. Ugly?
