Midwest City Scoop: Construction Starts in Detroit
Jeff Baxa Vice President Preconstruction Barton Malow
“In the city of Detroit, there’s a lot of demand for residential. There is a shortage of residential space, [and] there are a lot of projects. They are not of the size and magnitude of the Hudson’s redevelopment [planned to be Detroit’s tallest building], but it is all significant,” Baxa says. “There’s strong demand for offices, too, but the bulk of the work has a focus on residential development. The city, itself, is working hard on major challenges such as the school system, the transportation system. They’re working diligently to find solutions for those challenges.”
