Ford will treat the Michigan Central Depot to a mixed-use adaptation.
JC Reindl reports on additional details of the big story about Ford moving into the abandoned Michigan Central Depot in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit.
"The automaker said Tuesday that it plans to open several floors of housing in the old depot as part of building's coming top-to-bottom redevelopment, set for completion in 2022," reports Rendl.
The residential floors will be joined by office and retail space throughout the building. The project will be the first time the train station is built for residential uses.
