Henry Ford’s massive new hospital tower just reached full height.

On Thursday, crews put in place the final steel beam on the new $2.2 billion, 20-story Henry Ford Health Patient Tower.v

When it opens in 2029, the hospital will add 432 all‑private, high‑tech rooms, five floors of specialized ICU care, and a vastly expanded 75,000‑square‑foot ER with 100 private treatment spaces, roughly doubling the current emergency department.

The tower is a centerpiece of Henry Ford’s ‘Destination: Grand” expansion, which also includes a new 1,500‑space parking garage, a shared services building, and a central energy hub that will help make it one of the largest all‑electric hospitals in the country.

In pure scale, it’s in the same conversation as the Hudson’s tower and the Gordie Howe International Bridge. And although the University of Michigan Center for Innovation gets a lot of press because it's visible downtown, the investment on this project is multiple times larger.

If you want to see it for yourself, look for it just off the Lodge at West Grand Boulevard.
