It’s an all-inclusive campaign that includes other businesses, the citizens of the city of Detroit and newcomers. The key pillars of this movement include: Business Attraction and Job Creation o We want to make Detroit a desirable destination for prospective businesses. This includes recruiting talent nationwide and halting the exodus of talented professionals from Michigan. Creating an environment where entrepreneurs can thrive will produce jobs that attract talent and equip Detroit with a diverse economy that will help the city thrive in the 21st century. Renovations Galore o The influx of jobs will require state-of-the-art commercial space, and we intend to have space readily available. Renovations to parks, neighborhoods, and the riverfront will help attract new residents and visitors alike. Residential Expansion o Simply put, the demand outweighs the supply for housing in the city’s 7.2 square miles of the downtown area. The momentum is not slowing and this collaborative effort will ensure that attractive, cutting-edge living options are available for newcomers. Philanthropic Efforts o The entire community is vital to the sustainability of the city’s revitalization efforts. We’re aggressively supporting causes that will have a positive impact on residents and creating a culture where people are eager to volunteer for the betterment of this community. Event Attraction o Whether it’s the North American International Auto Show, IndyCar’s Dual in Detroit, the Super Bowl, or the Final Four … Detroit knows how to host big events. And we want the opportunity to host more events, and showcase the city to national and international audiences alike!

The building is located just south of the neighboring David Stott Building, at the corner of Woodward Avenue and Michigan Avenue overlooking Campus Martius Park. Constructed from 1963 to 1965, the 25-story building is designed in the International Style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.HistoryThe building occupies the site of the Majestic Building, which was demolished in 1962 to make way for 1001 Woodward. It was constructed between 1963 and 1965 to house headquarters for First Federal Savings and Loan of Detroit, and was known as the First Federal Building. By January 1998, the Savings and Loan was part of Charter One Financial and the parent company sought to sell the structure and lease a portion back. In December of that year, it was purchased by a partnership of The Carpenters Pension Trust Fund-Detroit & Vicinity and the Operating Engineers Local 324 Pension Fund for $6.5 million. As part of the sale, Charter One leased the ground floor, two office floors and the basement. The Michigan Court of Appeals occupied two floors under a lease which ended in 2001.
