I saw visual progress is being made on the former United Savings Bank in Detroit's Capitol Park.
It's undergoing significant remodeling to an art deco-inspired design, and the addition of four new floors. Two stories will be for commercial space, and the rest will have 25 residential units.
Designed by Albert Kahn and opened in 1921, the building's facade was ruined by a "facelift" in the 70s that removed most of the windows.
The developers of 1133 Griswold Street are the Detroit-based RKP Group.
How the building looked in the 1920s, vs. just before renovation, then the rendering for the future.

As you can see in the video below, a major overhaul of the triangle-shaped park has gotten started in earnest, with work to be completed in the summer. Businesses will remain open.
This one has been a long time coming. Big parts of a plan from 2017 will be put into place. Historically, the park had more green space and was more welcoming than the current design.
What's coming? The Downtown Detroit Partnership says:
- Softening the park by adding new gardens
- Permeable surfacing (it allows water to go through instead of pool or have to be handled by sewer systems)
- Expansion of the dog park and lawn
- A new canopy of trees
