Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert wants to make a big splash with the old Hudson's building site.
John Gallagher of the Detroit Free Press writes:
Businessman Dan Gilbert plans to reinvent the now-vacant Hudson's site in downtown Detroit with a uniquely designed building meant to attract attention around the world.
Just how ambitious those plans are can be glimpsed in what an early design for the site shows — a cutting edge glass-and-ceramic design, including a facade that could open in the summer, and a combination of retail, residential and other uses.
