DETROIT — Bedrock has released new renderings featuring an updated tower design for its development of the former J.L. Hudson department store site in Detroit. The tower is now slated to rise 912 feet and include 1.4 million square feet of retail, office, hotel, residential and public space. The new design features stepped tiers, which “allow for terraces for amenities and possible hospitality spaces,” according to SHoP Architects, the project architect. Bedrock, the real estate arm of businessman Dan Gilbert, founder of Quicken Loans, broke ground on the project in December 2017. Completion is slated for December 2020. The department store closed in 1984 and was imploded in 1998.
