I saw visual progress is being made on the former United Savings Bank in Detroit's Capitol Park.

It's undergoing significant remodeling to an art deco-inspired design, and the addition of four new floors. Two stories will be for commercial space, and the rest will have 25 residential units. 

Designed by Albert Kahn and [opened in 1921](https://historicdetroit.org/buildings/united-savings-bank-building?ref=dailydetroit.com), the building's facade was ruined by a "facelift" in the 70s that removed most of the windows. 

The developers of 1133 Griswold Street are the [Detroit-based RKP Group](https://rkp-group.com/portfolio/detroit-northern?ref=dailydetroit.com).

How the building looked in the 1920s, vs. just before renovation, then the rendering for the future.
