The long-awaited redevelopment of the 94-year-old United Artists Building in downtown Detroit has finally begun. The plans were revealed at a groundbreaking ceremony by Bagley Development Group LLC and Olympia Development. In a US$ 75M makeover, the historic United Artists Building, which previously operated as a theatre in the city’s downtown, will soon be home to approximately 150 mixed-income apartments.

The project, along with five other developments in the District of Detroit, was first announced in 2017. Only the Eddystone has been finished so far. The 18-story structure will be rebuilt into 148 one- and two-bedroom flats, with 20% classified as affordable at 80% AMI.
