Half a Billion Bucks a RenCen Tower

Show notes

What are Detroit's movers and shakers thinking and talking about?

 We went to the 2025 Detroit Policy Conference on Thursday and have some highlights and thoughts on our Daily Detroit podcast (download the episode here).

  • It'd cost $500 million per RenCen tower to convert them to residential, says GM and Bedrock. We discuss the details we learned yesterday on the Renaissance Center partial demolition and park plan.
  • We need to connect Ann Arbor and Detroit better in multiple ways in order to compete nationally. What could that look like?
  • Speaking of connections, everything needs to get connected better, along with our top research schools like the University of Michigan, Wayne State University and Michigan State.

Daily Detroit shares what to know and where to go in Detroit every day.
