DETROIT — The Roasting Plant, a New York-based coffee retailer, will open its first store outside of Manhattan this fall in Detroit's First National Building. Located at 660 Woodward, the first-floor shop will include on-site roasting and both indoor and outdoor seating. The Roasting Plant will offer 11 bean choices daily and use its Javabot system to individually create each customer's drink. Rock Ventures LLC, a real estate company owned by Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, purchased the 800,000-square-foot First National Building in August 2011. Bedrock Real Estate Services represented both parties in the lease transaction.
