Detroit's iconic Michigan Central Station has reopened its doors following a remarkable six-year, $950 million transformation led by Ford Motor Company. The 18-story building, once in disrepair, now stands as a powerful symbol of renewal and hope for the city.

To mark its grand reopening, the station hosted a star-studded concert on Thursday titled “Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central,” featuring performances by music legends Diana Ross, Jack White, and Eminem. The electrifying event drew 20,000 attendees and was also streamed live for residents to enjoy from watch parties throughout the city.  

Acquired by Ford Motor Co. six years ago with the vision of creating a hub for autonomous vehicles, the station has been revitalized into a campus focusing on mobility and innovation, housing New Lab at Michigan Central, parks, and more. 

The reopening represents Detroit's ongoing transformation, fueling new job opportunities and businesses in the thriving Corktown area. Visitors can now explore the first floor during self-guided tours offered on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the summer, a great way to embrace an era of new beginnings in Detroit.
