Bedrock and General Motors announced on Monday a plan to redevelop the Renaissance Center (RenCen) and 27 acres along the Detroit riverfront.
The plan will preserve some towers of the RenCen but demolish two buildings. The area would then become a vibrant waterfront destination featuring restaurants, hospitality, and residential.
▪️There will be a new pedestrian promenade connecting the heart of the city to the riverfront.
▪️Removing the low-rise base of the complex and the two office towers nearest the river.
▪️ Redeveloping three towers into a mix of hospitality and housing.
▪️ Turning land into signature public spaces. Reconfiguring the flow of the site to allow direct access to the buildings and the riverfront.
Over the coming weeks, the proposed redevelopment plan will be presented to local and state leaders to determine if, based on public support and legislative funding approval, it is possible to move forward with the redevelopment.
