I absolutely love positive videos of Detroit. Growing up south of Detroit we always had to go to Detroit for all the big events. The drastic change from the 90s, early 2000s to today is dramatic. I really ask people to come visit Detroit/Ann Arbor/Toledo. So much to do in such a large, easily accessible region.
I'm not from Detroit and never been there but from New York . But I like to go there one day , I like that Detroit rebuild itself and it's history. I love learning about other places I've never been to.😅😅
They always took pride, it has been getting the finance together which post 2008 has been extremely difficult. The headwinds have been massive but the greatness of the architecture and the persistence of the community has won out. Well done!
I'm Australian too. It's not about pride, it's about a lack of capital. The manufacturing centers of America were in decline since the 1950s. Declining industry means no more jobs. No more jobs means population decline. Population decline means fewer taxes to maintain the city and a smaller economy. The GFC was the final death blow, and the city had to work hard to get out of bankruptcy. But they did it, and good for them.

Exceptional video so well done. We visited that area a while ago as a friend who loved the buildings toured us through it many times. Michigan Central Station, what a magical restoration that has been. Nothing but positives praise for the finished project. From Windsor and so happy to see the refurbishment of the city. Thanks Again.
I've been following Detroit's renaissance from afar for 15 years now. Architecturally, Detroit is such a significant city. I love seeing these gorgeous buildings restored.
This rebuilding has been going on even longer. I remember seeing downtown Detroit as it was from 1999-2009, when the company I worked for was routinely supporting an exhibit at the Auto Show (NAIAS). Over that decade the downtown area went from being 2/3rds wrecked to only 1/3rd. You just showed me what's continued since then.
As an architecture fan, there's SO much to see in Detroit. I've always had a soft spot for the Book Building and Michigan Central, and was thrilled they were brought back to life. The Guardian and Fisher buildings are amazing, and Broderick Tower has some simply stunning residences. By the way, Detroit had a population increase last year... first time since the 50's.
Great video!. Grew up in metro Detroit!. Went to the University of Michigan-Dearborn and Ann Arbor. While doing some research downtown when i was a freshman (circa '89) i drove around the Brush Park District. There were a LOT more of these former mansions still standing, though vacant, and i remember just being in awe of all this STUNNING architecture -every single mansion was COMPLETELY different!. Sadly a lot are now gone. , even a big old church too. Even then, i was saying to myself, Why usnt anyone doing anything with these buildings? Back then, they could be bought for a mere $20K. Ha!. Detroit is unique and beautiful in its distinct architectural style. Thank you for sharing this with the world!. 🎉❤
From 2013 onward you saw a major construction boom everything from remodeling to new builds. Hopefully we can keep all this space occupied and maintained.
Great Video! I'm a waterproofer and restoration contractor myself and have repaired and rebuilt many historical landmarks from the oldest black Baptist church in Nacogdoches Texas to the reflection pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. Till last year I lived in and restored a over 100 year house.
Amazing! I remember getting a book like almost 10 years ago called: "Detroit - Americas Authopsy". Book deeply covered the reality of 2000s and early 2010s Detroit as a completly lost cause. For some odd reason I always had a soft spot for Detroit and I truely want to visit it in close future. What we can witness now it absolutley amazing. How the city is getting back is great to watch. Detroit for sure should be an indicator of hope for all of the Rust Belt. It simply shows that with good, caring people around you can change the reality by 180 degrees. GO DETROIT! Cheers from Poland.
Yea it's great to see Detroit bounce back! It was in such bad shape a decade or two back, that hopefully its transformation can inspire other cities in similar positions!
I’ve been downtown working on the buildings since 88, I opened up most you mentioned and you are 100% right on #1. I agree and was thinking you were going to leave it off and was happy to see we agree! I love the Detroit buildings and the Met went from worst to best!
I really appreciate and support the positive messaging about my hometown. I just subscribed and liked this video and I'll be watching your previous and future content. Detroit is making a comeback.
Wow this is so great to see ! Yet stunned at 8:52 how much un-used open space. A concrete wasteland. I hope it will be redeveloped in something lively so the city can prosper ! greetings from Belgium
I’d say the rebirth of downtown started with the redevelopment of the Book Cadillac hotel that had also been vacant for 2 decades and at least 2 hundred million went into that project opening in 2008 as a revived hotel and upscale condos !
❤ I’d say the Broderick Tower was the “start” of it. They took a risk and showed what can Happen when many others were willing to watch it, and the Books, fall. I used to watch the fireworks up on its tip top. Better Things ahead.
Thanks for the video. Although I'm on the west coast, I'm kind of a Detroit afficianado having watched the architectural revitalization for the past few year. I'd have to say the Michigan Central Station is probably #1 due to it's size, scope and it was so emblamatic of Detroit's urban collapse.. But it's your video so keep up the great work!
Thanks! Glad you find this kinda stuff cool too! And I think you have a fair point with the grand central station being the biggest and most impactful... definitely coulda been moved up the list.
As a Dutchman that never visited Detroit before I must say this is good to see, I was always sad seeing the decay of once a great truely American motor city I know from the movies.
Detroit has some super cool history for sure, definitely worth a deeper dive than my video was able to get into if you have the time! Thanks for watching, appreciate the kind words!
Hello with love from London uk ❤ my heart was broken for Brush park ever since I found a book about American abandonment 20 years ago and so I am DELIGHTED to see this resurgence - but for gosh sakes STOP DEMOLISHING YOUR VACANT BUILDINGS (!) I think it’s absolutely crazy that in any abandoned place you actually demolish buildings - sure the ones that are too far gone - knock yourself out but even today there are too many beautiful sturdy buildings that are being levelled because they’ve been abandoned - the last building on this list was vacant for 4 decades and they STILL were able to bring it back to life - you can’t restore beauty if it’s no longer there - so don’t knock it - make it safe and mothball it but DONT KNOCK IT AHHHHH! lol ❤😂🎉
I grew up at McNichols and Inkster road before there were sidewalks. As a kid I rode my bike to Grand River and then headed downtown getting as far as Gratiot or Livernois. I wonder if any of the French influence on Detroit survived. I also took the train to Grand Rapids a few times and once took it to the Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky Ohio. We used to stand on Woodward Ave opposite the JL Hudson Department Store at Christmas. As grim and tragic as Detroit’s fate was by the time I left (1966) its renaissance is nothing short of a modern miracle.
The influence is there in street names. Each farm along the river, planned as a fanning out in spokes had a French family name, existing today. New generations still in the area.
Good to see that these are happening. Was majorly disappointed though that you included virtually ZERO interior pics of the refurbished buildings, except for the one hotel.
Nothing like those 100+ year old gems, now we've got all the cookie cutter buildings going. my metro area has been building a lot of senior living complexes and apartment buildings and they all look alike. Here's to Detroit and all its citizens, I think you've got the most beautiful buildings of any major city in the USA. it would be great to see people move back in and call it home.
I ALWAYS ENJOY seeing all the either new or redeveloped buildings here in Detroit …. Ideally I would have liked to have gotten views of at least the lobbies of these buildings you featured in this video… I know some are rather breathtaking to those of us that enjoy architecture from the era of these old structures
This is a really cool video! However, I wish I could have seen the interior of more of them. I only got to see the inside of one restaurant in one building.
While it’s awesome to see Detroit coming back, the problem with a lot of these rebuilds is that they are just apartments, or more specifically “luxury apartments.” An apartment means that you cannot own it. If you don’t own something, then you don’t really care about it. Go to any college town and you’ll see the results of that in their apartments. These need to be condos at the very least, so that people can take pride in owning something in downtown Detroit and actually WANT to take care of it. Having an apartment means you are not a permanent resident and just passing through.
Home ownership and stable jobs are definitely critical for Detroit to sustain the momentum. I'm totally with you that renovations alone are not going to solve the problems... but hopefully the progress can continue and people will increasingly be proud to be from Detroit and really want to do their part to support their neighborhoods.
Glad to see detroit keeping their buildings. I live around KC and people from california are tearing down/building those crap houses. I guess the only silver lining to it all is that they have a hard time acquiring business properties unlike residential ones
Detroit was once called the Paris of the US... Sad to see photos of it from the 1800s and early 1900s and how American leadership and demographics mistreated it.
The reason they build these soulless, plain, glass and metal buildings is because they're cheaper to build. All that ornate carved stonework and interior woodwork requires craftsmanship, money and a lot more time to construct.
@@waukee321Which means that people don’t care what happens to them. In order for Detroit to become a great city again, people need to care about the buildings within it.
On a different note if you want to see a historic city which has incredible vitality, diversity and an ability to constantly invent and re develop itself then go look at London. As a kid in the sixties and early seventies I remember it had black soot covered buildings, with bomb sites, some hideous modernist architecture, traffic chocked, pigeons shitting everywhere and it’s underground was dark dated and grim. These days it is wonder with endless great developments which I am always enthralled to visit - a true world city.
2:00 That street looks awful, like they piled boxy shipping containers in there. And it seems that most of these "renovations" are basically completely new buildings in old walls. They are better walls than the ones they make today, of course. But it's sad how far they let Detroit go. In those areas there was really nothing left.
Disappointed that all the renovated spaces are for rich people. "Luxury" apartments, "grand" hotels, etc. I really wish that they would think of the middle or lower man in at least some of these renovations. :(
While the rebuilds and restorations are wonderful to see, I get extremely angry at what can only be described as a criminal element who were allowed to destroy, disfigure and burn such lovely old buildings during the darkest times for the city with zero consequences for their actions. Shameful.
Now, keep the riff raff from coming in and destroying Detroit again. Detroit was once the richest city in the nation until an influx of riff raff moved in and destroyed it. I was born in Detroit in 1952.
All this renovation work seems to have motivated the Lions to put a good football team on the field after years of being the laughing stock of the NFL.
Detroit is special 💔
I absolutely love positive videos of Detroit. Growing up south of Detroit we always had to go to Detroit for all the big events. The drastic change from the 90s, early 2000s to today is dramatic.

Good to see Detroit coming back. I love the old architecture and their restoration.
I'm not from Detroit and never been there but from New York . But I like to go there one day , I like that Detroit rebuild itself and it's history. I love learning about other places I've never been to.😅😅
Finally its starting to make a come back! Restore more of those beautiful homes!
I haven't been back to Detroit for about 5 years. Even then, it had been making great strides forward. Love seeing this.
It’s nice to see the decay cleared away and the signs of growth return. Keeping the best of the past gives the city real character and beauty.
Go Detroit !!!!! Stay the course.
Atlanta did the same thing to the area next to the zoo, it’s pretty amazing to see old homes come back to life. Save our history. Great job Detroit!
From Australia, I'm so glad to see Americans take pride in their heritage and city again.
They always took pride, it has been getting the finance together which post 2008 has been extremely difficult. The headwinds have been massive but the greatness of the architecture and the persistence of the community has won out. Well done!
I'm Australian too. It's not about pride, it's about a lack of capital. The manufacturing centers of America were in decline since the 1950s. Declining industry means no more jobs. No more jobs means population decline. Population decline means fewer taxes to maintain the city and a smaller economy. The GFC was the final death blow, and the city had to work hard to get out of bankruptcy. But they did it, and good for them.
What about Haiti though?
@apseudonym Actually, the main reason that so many people left is because of a thing called "White Flight. I don't want to be censored so just Google it and make up your own mind.
New respect for Detroit
Exceptional video so well done. We visited that area a while ago as a friend who loved the buildings toured us through it many times. Michigan Central Station, what a magical restoration that has been. Nothing but positives praise for the finished project. From Windsor and so happy to see the refurbishment of the city. Thanks Again.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
It's so exciting to visit Detroit now, everything is so brand new and exciting and you can feel the energy
It is cool, definitely a very vibrant feel in some parts!
I've been following Detroit's renaissance from afar for 15 years now. Architecturally, Detroit is such a significant city. I love seeing these gorgeous buildings restored.

Agreed! Great to see these buildings getting a new life!
That transition at 2:05 says everything
Great job! So uplifting to see the love and work being done to help this city make a comeback.
From 2013 onward you saw a major construction boom everything from remodeling to new builds. Hopefully we can keep all this space occupied and maintained.
Fingers crossed! It's been great to see some much change for the better since then!

I am from Pittsburgh PA and was told Detroit downtown was inspired by Pittsburgh's downtown...history is important. I love visiting Detroit ♥️
Agreed! Both Pittsburgh and Detroit are some of the coolest cities in the country
Great video! Thanks for sharing your passion for renovated Detroit so more of us will be aware of what's happening.

In 1993 I took a train from Chicago to Detroit, I really wanna come back & see how it looks today.

Thanks for this - I'd seen earlier videos of Detroit on its way down. The Brush Park places and the former Central Station are particularly inspiring.
Dame Detroit is georgous now!!! WOW what a comeback!!!🦾❤❤😂😂❤❤😂😂❤❤🦾
Looking good Detroit! 👍
Great to see the turnaround!
I ❤ love detroit my home city a beautiful place to live and work and im so proud to call it home ❤❤❤❤❤ go detroit viva detroit for ever😁👍
Good luck Detroit. Your history and contributions to America shall not fade into the night.
Long live Detroit. My hometown.
Great city!
I haven't been there in years last time I was there it was a dump it looks like the streets are very clean
Most of the downtown area seemed pretty clean when I was there recently
As a Dutchman that never visited Detroit before I must say this is good to see, I was always sad seeing the decay of once a great truely American motor city I know from the movies.
Great video. Now i eant to look up the ckmplete histories of these buildings. Detroit cam use these positive videos that show it is on the way up.
Detroit has some super cool history for sure, definitely worth a deeper dive than my video was able to get into if you have the time! Thanks for watching, appreciate the kind words!
The RUclips algorithm is not kind to you. Found you channel through Top 8 American "Highways To Nowhere". Great content!
Glad you stumbled across the channel! Thanks for watching!!
I’m happy for Detroit., nicely done.
Great to see the progress there for sure!

Thanks!!
Good to see that these are happening. Was majorly disappointed though that you included virtually ZERO interior pics of the refurbished buildings, except for the one hotel.
I wish we could have seen inside, and also gotten more history about each structure.
Wow. I thought Detroit was a lost cause. It looks so classy now. Well done Detroit.
Beautiful to see the city coming to life.
Would love to see this city. Thx

❤
Please do more videos like this.
Will do! Got any specific cities you’d like to see?
@@BuildingTales thanks! Honestly, anywhere in New Jersey. Camden, jersey City, ect.
I ALWAYS ENJOY seeing all the either new or redeveloped buildings here in Detroit …. Ideally I would have liked to have gotten views of at least the lobbies of these buildings you featured in this video… I know some are rather breathtaking to those of us that enjoy architecture from the era of these old structures
How nice to see Detroit being revitilized.
Nice to see these renovations, buildings just aren't built like a lot of these anymore.
Definitely good to see some of the old stuff being saved!
YESSSSSSSSSS! ❤
I remember Detroit Downtown look everything change much better nice buildings. I have much time visit see my family in Detroit. From United Kingdom.
Now its Gary, Indiana turn!😮
Would love to see it!

Even better if the Lions win the Super Bowl which is perfectly possible this year - give a great lift to the city I think.
Glad to see detroit keeping their buildings. I live around KC and people from california are tearing down/building those crap houses. I guess the only silver lining to it all is that they have a hard time acquiring business properties unlike residential ones
detroit could easily become one of the best cities in the usa if they keep this up
One building I'm still shocked that it was never restored was Kronk's Gym.
It's absolutely infuriating to contemplate what was senselessly lost...
Location location location is important for buildings as it is for business.
I wonder if it will all be a worthwhile investment?
Lol, the second image I believe is the hospital I was born in.
Detroit was once called the Paris of the US... Sad to see photos of it from the 1800s and early 1900s and how American leadership and demographics mistreated it.
Great to see the rebirth . Now is the time to get rid of street level parking and create some large treed spaces.
Old World buildings last forever. The past civilization knew what they were doing.
We need a traditional architecture revival. Im sick and tired of the soulless modern buildings
Agreed! Some modern architecture is cool, but at times it does seem a little bland.
The reason they build these soulless, plain, glass and metal buildings is because they're cheaper to build. All that ornate carved stonework and interior woodwork requires craftsmanship, money and a lot more time to construct.

You missed a very important home renovation of a Detroit icon, the Fred Fisher home in Arden Park.
Also a good one!

They are better walls than the ones they make today, of course. But it's sad how far they let Detroit go. In those areas there was really nothing left.
it looks like a city of carparks. so much concrete.
I would love to work on those building. I love old buildings. Unfortunately, I'm 68 with artheritic knees. I'm not sure I'd be much help 😥😥
Since when do vandalizers actually think they became developers graffiti crime that should not be the face of a city
Doesn’t show inside 😒
Disappointed that all the renovated spaces are for rich people. "Luxury" apartments, "grand" hotels, etc. I really wish that they would think of the middle or lower man in at least some of these renovations. :(
it looks strangely displaced all over when there are endless empty patches everywhere used for nothing, just low rises or even just parking….
Definitely lots of infill still to do!
While the rebuilds and restorations are wonderful to see, I get extremely angry at what can only be described as a criminal element who were allowed to destroy, disfigure and burn such lovely old buildings during the darkest times for the city with zero consequences for their actions. Shameful.
Now, keep the riff raff from coming in and destroying Detroit again. Detroit was once the richest city in the nation until an influx of riff raff moved in and destroyed it. I was born in Detroit in 1952.
Everything is rental instead of purchase.
A lot of surface parking for a downtown 🤨
Who is this all for ?
Huge spaces , no actual people or cars
These homes were (and ARE) gorgeous! But, unfortunately, you're STILL in Detroit!
All this renovation work seems to have motivated the Lions to put a good football team on the field after years of being the laughing stock of the NFL.
Yup, a beautiful city builds pride.
The city doesn’t look very walkable so I don’t see how it can thrive.
It’s still in its early steps of recovery. Give it some time
Still too many parking lots downtown.
Less abandoned buildings though!
Jeez, that neighborhood with the Ransom Gillis house looks awful with all the modernist infill buildings.
Definitely an odd mashup of styles there!
Just like Berlin after the war. The curses of war, riots, poverty takes its toll.
I think it’s digitally modified “movies” the town looks horrible, without people. Depressing place
Not sure I follow...
