Introducing Hudson's Detroit: From Department Store to Highfalutin' Tower
Remember that iconic J.L. Hudson's department store that was practically a Detroit landmark? Well, guess what? It's being replaced by something a little more...skyscraper-y. Hudson's Detroit is a mixed-use development that's going to be the second tallest building in the entire state (cue the celebratory honking from all the local Chevy Cruzes). We're talking about a whopping 685 feet of architectural wonder, folks. That's practically close enough to brush the clouds (with a really, really long ladder).
What's Inside This Modern Marvel?
So, what exactly is going to be housed in this vertical giant? Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
- Luxury living: Apparently, some folks like their views with a side of vertigo. Hudson's Detroit will boast swanky condominiums for those who want to live the high life (literally).
- An EDITION Hotel fit for a Motown mogul: Looking for a staycation with a touch of class? This fancy-schmancy hotel will be the perfect place to rest your weary head (and maybe channel your inner Diana Ross in the shower).
- Office space with a view: Calling all corporate climbers (pun intended)! Hudson's Detroit will also have office space, so you can work amongst the clouds and impress all your colleagues with your, ahem, "elevated" business sense.
- Retail therapy with a twist: The development will also include retail space, so you can shop 'til you drop (though hopefully not from the skyscraper itself).
When Can We Expect This Towering Triumph to Be Complete?
Patience is a virtue, my friends! Construction is still underway, but the estimated completion date is sometime in 2024 (which, guess what, is this very year!). So, keep your eyes peeled, Detroit, because this skyscraper is about to become a permanent fixture on your cityscape.
Fun Fact: General Motors is already staking their claim on the top floors, so it looks like the Motor City is staying true to its roots, even way up in the sky.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
