Description
The big news this week in development in Detroit is the announcement of a new University of Michigan Innovation Center, bankrolled and supported by billionaires Stephen Ross and Dan Gilbert. The $300 million building on a $750 million campus will transform a site that was originally planned to be a jail. But that old jail project was a mess and became the infamous Fail Jail through mismanagement and cost overruns. After visiting the unveiling, we take a look at the past - how we got here, back to 2011 - and then today, then the future of the site at Gratiot and I-375 in downtown Detroit. Like what we're doing?
