The Hudson’s Site
Located on the site of the former Hudson’s Department Store, Bedrock’s landmark development will restore the grandeur to Woodward Avenue’s 1200 block. Plans include 1.5 million square feet of office, retail, food and beverage, hotel, residential, event and meeting, parking and activated open spaces. At 685.4 feet tall, the tower will provide unique city views at every level. An indoor-outdoor space for activations will anchor the ground-floor retail. A new plaza between the two buildings will cut through the center of the development, creating a central destination for Detroit. Progressively designed office spaces, dramatic event venues, state-of-the-art residences and a 5-star hotel will be joined together at an unbeatable location.
