Hudson's Detroit
QLINE at Campus Martius station
DDOT 4
Hudson's Detroit is an under-construction mixed-use development located in Downtown Detroit, Michigan, United States. Located on the former site of J.L Hudson's Flagship Store, it is expected to be the second tallest building in Detroit as well as Michigan, at 208.7 meters (685 ft)[1][2] and to be completed in 2024.[3][4]
Site
1208 Woodward Avenue is situated in Downtown Detroit, bounded by Grand River Avenue to the north, Farmer Street to the east, and Gratiot Avenue to the south. The entire block was once the home to Hudson's flagship store, which was built in phases between 1911 and 1946. It was the tallest department store in the world, at 440 ft (134 m), and the second largest department store by area in the world, behind Macy's Herald Square in New York City.[5] In 1998, the building was imploded following 12 years of closure, making it the tallest building to ever be demolished by controlled implosion.[6] In 2001, an underground parking garage was constructed at the site, with supports for a future structure to be built atop.[7]
Design
The development, designed by SHoP Architects, will consist of two buildings:[8] A 14-story 70.7 meters (232 ft)[9] mid-rise that will contain retail, office and event space, as well as a 208.7 meters (685 ft)[1][10] tall tower that will contain exhibition space, residential units, and a hotel. The buildings will be linked by a 700-space underground parking garage.[11]
History
In 2013, after over a decade of little activity at the site, Rock Ventures announced that SHoP Architects had been selected to lead the design process for the area.[12] In 2017, construction began with the removal of the underground parking garage that had been built in 2001. In March 2020, construction progress was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but resumed after 45 days.[8] In December of the same year, construction reached above the ground for the first time.
The tower was topped out on April 10, 2024; two days later on April 12, its final name, Hudson's Detroit, was announced.[13]
Tenants
General Motors announced on April 15, 2024 that it would relocate its global headquarters from Renaissance Center to Hudson's Detroit in 2025. As the anchor tenant, GM will lease the two top floors of the mid-rise building and utilize space on the ground floor as a company showroom.[14]
On April 17, 2024, Bedrock announced that the tower would consist of an EDITION five-star hotel and 97 luxury condominiums to be completed by 2027.[15]
