Metro Detroit’s 2022 Commercial Real Estate Update Impresses

In the past year, the Ilitch family and billionaire development mogul Stephen Ross announced their partnership to build the Detroit Center for Innovation. Since then, no construction has started. Whether or not the plans come to fruition is up in the air. There are currently 10 projects in the works outside of the DCI. They include business incubator space, new office and residential towers, and hotel space. Altogether, $1.5 billion in projects are waiting in the wings. That figure doesn’t include the DCI which would cost $250 million, funded in part with a $100 million earmarked in the state budget.
