    I’m from detroit and I’ve been working security at the old train station. And this weekend they’ve finally opened it to the public. They had a big concert featuring Diana Ross, jelly roll and big Sean and it’s been a wonderful experience and the neighborhood and businesses in the location are top notch! Great job Mr. Ford!

    Driving from Windsor into Detroit across the Ambassador Bridge, this building looked haunted yet simultaneously beautiful. Thank you Mr. Ford for having a vision and to the workers who made it come true.

    Building up instead of tearing down. What a concept.

      Definitely would be a lot cheaper to renovate rather than tear that massive structure down, or build a new office building elsewhere

      But like many companies it could be classified as a zombie company. Lots of debt on its balance sheet.Certainly Stellantis is on the door step, even Toyota tons of debt . Who knows the next major downturn could tumble a lot of companies.

    Bill Ford bought the building in 2018 and poured almost $1 billion into it, dreaming of EVs and Mobility. It'll be a community center next year and hope they keep the lights on and cut the grass.

    ALL of the Detroit automakers should be rebuilding Detroit and not running from it. What Ford has done is a drop in the bucket but could serve as a catalyst for continued revitalization. I'm not that optimistic but still hopeful.

    I can't count the number of times I've driven by that decrepit old structure and wondered (sometimes aloud), "When are they going to demolish that old relic?" Now I can't wait to get back to Motown and check out its new incarnation!

    It's still going to take many decades to bring Detroit back to pre 1970s. And sorry Nate the Lions are still a joke because they still haven't won a championship or Superbowl since the Eisenhower administration. Until they do nobody is going to take the Lions seriously
