All - in the past there were requests for additional views of the Griswold. Check out these great balconies and the full height glass in each unit. BK

Going off on a tangent here... I would think that most of the folks who own these would probably not have children. Last thing you would want is children playing by the railings. I have vertigo, so I wouldn't be able to get any closer to the edge than that lady in the rendering! |

Balconies are great, and this is the advantage that new construction downtown can have. Still, a renovated Broderick Tower, and/or Stott Tower or Book Tower residential conversion would be the most sought-after apartments downtown. |

Speaking of the Broderick, does anyone have the latest info on when construction will start on that renovation? |

The Broderick Tower is supposed to start construction by the summer, but I am sure KDG would know better since they designed the units and renovations. |

Yeah, the Book and Stott have some of the lowest occupancies from what I hear. Spirit, you are exaggerating quite a bit. Of the leasable office space downtown 26-27% of it is vacant as of the fourth quarter of 2006 according to CBRE. It's been at or around this number for years now. In fact Metro Detroit's office market has been flat/soft for awhile now. According to the report Troy is reporting a 26% vacany, Southfield a 28% vacancy...The only office markets doing even half way decent are Auburn Hills (12.68% vacancy), and Farmington/West Bloomfield (15% vacancy).

None of those commercial vacancy rates mentioned are necessarily good. Better than completely vacant though I guess. Once you're up to 95% occupied then some of this continued new construction in the city or suburbs can be justified. |
