Detroit officials classified the downtown Renaissance Center as functionally obsolete, paving the way for a $2.2B partial demolition and redevelopment plan by GENERAL MOTORS CO and Bedrock. The designation unlocks public incentives for the 1977 riverfront complex, which features over 4 million square feet of space. The project aims to modernize the site, though some residents have questioned the necessity of tearing down structurally sound towers.
