If you grew up in Detroit, you either remember the iconic Hudson's Department Store downtown, or you've heard the stories. Once one of the largest department stores in the world, it was demolished in the late 90's and the space has sat vacant for almost two decades. The massive vacancy in the heart of downtown may now be home to the tallest building in the state of Michigan, eclipsing the Renaissance Center. Dan Gilbert's Rock Ventures unveiled plans for the new project, which features a stunning 734 foot tower.
But exactly how will the massive project be built? The logistics of building such a massive development on one of the busiest roads in the city are complex to say the least. To help lead the project, Gilbert's Rock Ventures has hired Joe Guziewicz, a Caesar's Entertainment veteran who has spent 20 years building high rises and casinos. According to the Detroit Free Press, Guziewicz will have to tackle many issues including parking for the hundreds of construction workers, and space for all the cranes and building materials.
