Possible New Location for the Detroit Center for Innovation

 Billionaire Stephen Ross and Christopher Ilitch, president and CEO of Ilitch Holdings, are in talks about building the Detroit Center for Innovation within District Detroit.  District Detroit is comprised of Ilitch-owned properties around Little Caesars Arena. This is a change from previous plans for a 14-acre Gratiot site where the half-built Wayne County jail once stood. The size and scope of the project at the new site is unknown. The project could be in within walking distance of a multifamily residential or mixed-use development that Ross has planned at Charlotte Street and Third Avenue.
