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

Excellent work, KDG! Can't wait to see floorplans, etc., on the website. They look impressive so far!

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.
