- This video is about five new developments happening in Detroit that are creating positive buzz. The host, Ed Butler, is a realtor and RUclips content creator who focuses on living, working, eating, sleeping, and playing in Detroit. He starts off by discussing the Michigan Central train station, which is getting a $950 million renovation to create innovation labs, office space, restaurants, and more. The next development is the Detroit Exchange building, which will be the first new residential building in Greektown in 60 years. The third development is the Ralph Wilson part of the Detroit Riverfront's master plan, a 5.5 mile stretch along the Detroit River that is being revitalized. The host saves the largest development for the end and encourages viewers to like the video if they find the information interesting.
IIf you're thinking of making a move to Metro Detroit, lets talk about how I can help make the transition easy for you!

Man i grew up in metro detroit but was staying IN Detroit more than the Burbs..i love that there is development happening i love Detroit!
Yes sir! Developments happening all over!
I was born in Detroit and have seen the city go through bankruptcy and numerous other things that are what people think is still going on but to see the city rising before my eyes are watching my hometown grow back and turning it into a hub of what it was is amazing btw I still live in Michigan in the Detroit area pretty close to the city limits and growing up and watching it transform makes it amazing to see how much it has come and still coming
100% it’s definitely unfolding right before our eyes!
I miss Detroit. I wouldn’t mind moving back.
Come own home!
@@EdButlerDetroit Thanks. Can you do a video on all the new apartment complexes in the city? I’ve read that there has been a lot of new developments.
Come on back and be a part of the new Detroit.
I visit a lot with friends now from Kalamazoo. The downtown is thriving, safe, innovative and fun. Worth our trip. Better than Chicago now.
Love to hear it! I hear Kzoo is growing a lot these days too. I sure do miss those Golden wings from Wayside! 😊
@@EdButlerDetroit kalamazoo rated coolest city in America. To add, last week the government said they now have the strongest economy in Michigan.
I'm planning on moving to Detroit in the future
Love to hear it!
That would be a great move, I love love Detroit and I'm loving the transformation that is happening right before my eyes.
As a Chicagoan I’m glad Detroit is coming up. The midwest/rust belt need more vibrant cities.
Midwest cities are the best. They're the closest to what America used to be.
Agreed 100%
@@thebabbler8867 debatable. Population lose, and industry loses has caused the southern cities (Houston, Phoenix, Dallas, Miami) to all take lead. Also what they used to be, is only half as good as what they could become.
@@cowser67 yes the south is growing faster of course but in recent years Indy, Columbus, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Cleveland Pittsburg etc have all been having a resurgence/growth. It’s an exciting refresh.
@@cowser67 The problem with the Sun Belt is that each and every city in it, with the exception of Miami (and just city of Miami, not the metro) was built so low density and so car dependent that they'll crash into the same high infrastructure costs that led to Detroit's bankruptcy. Detroit even today with its population loss is still more dense than Jacksonville, Dallas, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Houston. And Detroit isn't in a hurricane corridor like every one of these Sun Belt cities.
Detroit is on the rise I can't wait for what's in store
You and me both!
Detroit is making a comeback in a big way and they will be having more buildings, houses,condos and restaurants the america city was almost a ghost town but now it's being reborn again better than before.
You know it! Love to see the city growing and flourishing!
Surprised you did not discuss the Hudson Site. Very nice project for Detroit!
Yep, I’m going to add it in the next one, there’s quite a few more that deserved mention too!
Detroit has really took a major leap in 8 years! I’ve watched this city become a Trendy place to visit in 4 years and that’s incredible I love my City #WestSide48204 Representing 💪🏾💪🏾
Love watching it unfold!
Terrific video Ed. It's great to see Detroit on the move. I loved growing up there and I miss it, even in the Winter.
Love to hear it!
Ed Butler, Detroit Cheerleader Extraordinaire 🎉. Well done 👍 Merry Christmas 🎄
Haha I’m a man of the city! Appreciate ya!
Merry Christmas!
Very well done video. I was born in the D in 1953; lived there until I graduated from UDM in 1976. I’m happy to see the city coming back.
Thanks Mark! Much more to come as well!
Oh I’d really like to see an in depth look at what’s going on in Brush Park and the variety of living choices that are available there and also how the market is doing as far as attracting people to that particular area .
Yea I probably will put one together, but not much is needed to attract people there, it comes to a factor of affordability at this point. As anything there comes with a hefty price tag!
The last 2 projects 😒 I’ll believe them when I see them ... the Ilitchs track record for actualIy geting projects started let alone DONE has been hit or miss mostly MISS and as for the Herman Kiefer project ... I don’t know anything about him other than another developer with big plans , but little to show as of yet and as you stated this has been on the drawing board for an extremely long time ... I wish you had some reliable source that could give some concrete news on ( my most favored project the Monroe Block ) I would have preferred that be built b4 the Hudson site especially since it was downsides from its original scale. One more point there was no timeline given for the WILSON park project I know ( from what I had seen ) that the money IS THERE for this ABSOLUTELY marveling project.. but haven’t seen any evidence of work being started
I agree on all points, I’m still hopeful. The pandemic definitely put a damper on some of these projects, but hopefully they get some real legs behind them soon.
Yes, these are a couple the projects I want to talk about in a follow up video, possibly next month.
We have been covering all the riverfront projects and yes, work is definitely happening there!
Wow very impressive! Love all the wonderful development going on downtown! Could Detroit be dubbed Atlanta North?! 😁👏
Maybe one day for sure! Atlanta is still growing into the size that Detroit once was, so the infrastructure is definitely already here.
There’s still a ton of work the city needs outside of the downtown and midtown hub, but it’s on its way there.
@@batnayanineveh6082 Definitely, but with Detroit being the largest city in the country by size, that’s definitely going to take a while, and will need to start with the people.
@@EdButlerDetroit Can you share your source for this? When I looked it up Detroit places 71st in terms of city size by area
Thank you, Ed. So appreciate your videos.
No Thank YOU! For watching and supporting the channel! 🙌🏾
A lot of good development happening in Detroit. Great post.
Thanks Fred!
Man, Ilitch has been dragging his feet on District Detroit for years. I'll believe it when I see it.
I feel you on this one for sure! Hoping for the best haha
Wonderful video! Thanks for posting this information!
Thanks brother, appreciate all your videos doing the same!
You never mention that the central train station is the largest in the world. To add, you didn't mention the project taking place now on Bells Island nor did you mention the new bridge currently being built. When done, it will be the largest suspension bridge in the USA. Still a great video though
Well it was the tallest when constructed not the largest but definitely a cool tid bit. I’m making these into a mini series, theirs so many developments happening I didn’t want to jam them into one video, so more coming soon!
Drop any other cool ones that you think should be on future video I appreciate the feedback for sure!
@@EdButlerDetroit
To my understanding still the largest in the world. In fact, I have heard many videos even mention that. Anyhow I enjoy your video and look forward to more as long as it is not negative. Too much of that on the internet and my friends and I are ready to move forward. Being stuck on the negatives of the past gets you nowhere. Your video is positive and entertaining. Keep up the nice work.
Great Video! We can’t wait to return to Detroit in the summer to see the progress.
Love to here it!
I am surprised that you didn’t mention the Joe Louis Greenway. IMO that’s the granddaddy off all of the developments and not District Detroit.
Your right, definitely including it on the next one!
Great for the community
Unlike NewYork, Chicago,Los Angela’s and Atlanta Detroit has plenty of land to play with. I wish that the neighborhoods stay intact with a mixture of Techies, Artists, and labor living in each neighborhoods in harmony
That would be a beautiful thing!
@@EdButlerDetroitas long as everyone obey the ordinances it could work. One person who started to get the ball rolling for Detroit before Gilbert did was Soho and South Park developer Tony Goldman. He advise Detroit not to razed another building but develop one building at a time, one block at a time, one neighborhood at a time. Unfortunately he passed away from a massive heart attack. Just imagine the direction Detroit especially downtown Detroit would had went had he was able to take the wheel
I feel Detroit has the potential of being a much better city than the ones I had mentioned. I think that Detroit should keep it simple and not try to be a metropolis. However, Detroit shouldn't rely on the big 3 either for revenue but focus on technology, agriculture and also labor empowering rhe hidden untapped talent that are untapped in the inner city youths
@@stickshiftdriver1832 Agreed, i love seeing that we’re becoming very strong in the Mortgage industry. The 2 largest mortgage companies in the Country are headquartered here.
Go Lions! 🙂
Go Lions!!
cool content, nice to see this channel.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching
Extremely informative, great job!
Thanks Phil!
We need more Ed Butlers..👍🏿🎚🇺🇸
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
I look forward to the Train station. Hopefully they keep the tracks.
That actually would be really cool if they did keep some!
@@EdButlerDetroit According to the rumors, freight trains were using the tracks when Ford bought the station. So fingers crossed for a passenger trains.
Great content!
Thanks David!
I might Juss move back 😂
Come on home 🏡 ☺️
And u should. Big things are happening here in Detroit.
Detroit has changed for greatness in 8 fast years, come back home it’s such a wonderful vibe in the city these days.
There have been no reports by anyone on Detroit projects about the old Fisher Body plant being made into a swanky apartment building.
Your not wrong, I’ll add it to my next development video
The exchange building is really cool and innovative. I must say though, I think it's an eye sore. The windows look like they're misplaced
Yea they are definitely misaligned haha
I grew up in Detroit and attended Detroit Public schools. I've seen Detroit go from a dynamic "Melting Pot" city in America to a major Sh*thole. I am very satisfied when I see positive changes in Detroit...esp. the $$$ investment and new building. But I feel very firmly that neighborhoods and schools are just as important as a vibrant Downtown.
The residents of Detroit have run those neighborhoods/schools into the ground. No use blaming others for it. Detroit has to totally transform the neighborhoods....both housing and schools....before it will really be a great city again. That's where the REAL challenge is.
Downtown Detroit is really no more than "bells and whistles".
Change can start from the Downtown out, that’s the welcome mat for Detroit so it must be built out first, and then into the neighborhoods from there. Also there are a ton of vibrant growing neighborhoods in the city. Just sounds like you may not be aware.
@@EdButlerDetroit All Detroit needed in most of its neighborhoods was a thing called "tender loving care"....not some money-fueled "renaissance".
They need to double down on addressing and prosecuting crime or it will never prosper.
Stars have been trending downward .
"Build Like Others Are Now Here!!!"The Theme"If You Build All Things Trust Me They'll Come!!!"Am A Native New Yorker I Was Born In The City Of Detroit I Have An Awful Lot Of Sentiment,"I Do Like Large Inviting,Alluring Things For Everyone Including Children!!!"
Which destinations by train will be the most desirable?
Detroits a little more of a car city, its tough to get everywhere by train, but the People mover will take you thru a few of the stops you'd want to check out in the Downtown area.
"Ed Hello These Projects Are So Amazing And So Fantastic But We Got To Spend Time Getting The Population Up Here We Have To Be Competitive With Other U.S. Cities!!!"We Need One Last Transportation A Moderate Full Speed Accelerated Moderate Priced Monorail System Need To Not Study Any More,But Build Immediately Should've Been Completed Like The Former Mayor Coleman Alexander Young Invisioned!!!"I Was Born Here And I Love And Could Obviouly Just Want The Best For This City We Have Earned And Deserve It!"
Definitely would love to see the city limits numbers increase for sure!
How do you get a shirt like the one you have on?
I got it from a store called Funky 7 in Royal Oak MI not sure if the have any more, I sure could use a back up or different color myself haha
They need to develop the jail site and dead zone by motor city casino into entertainment distrcts and build a large 800 room conventional hotels next to ren cen lot and another on tcf center
Agreed! I thought the Jail site was supposed to be for a soccer stadium
Detroit needs a subway. Until then, it'll always be an afterthought city.
Because it doesn’t have a subway? You know there’s other ways to travel right?
Detroit was never made for a subway system. Transportation was very good for its time with the auto industry. I don't believe people here want or desire that mode of transportation here.
District Detroit doesn't have anything to do with Dan Gilbert. That's Illitch and Stephen Ross.
Yep, that was an error on my part for sure. If it did have something to do with Dan it might be further long by now haha
Ed, God Bless You but what good is all this development if you get shot going to your car.
So anyone who lives in Detroit gets shot randomly, is that your rationale Bill?
It just sounds like you haven’t been to the city in a long time. Definitely invite you to check it out sometime. Downtown is starting to rival any other major city in the country.
@@EdButlerDetroit You know exactly what I mean. How about robbed randomly...carjacked randomly. I grew up there and experienced it all and do not see a lot of improvement gangster wise. Hell, when I lived in Indian Village an elderly couple answered their door and were stabbed to death. As recently as two weeks ago in the center of town a drive by shooting at the Book Cadillac.
@@billbuschgen520 crimes are happening in every city. New York, Atlanta, L.A etc... the drive by were people from out of town
I could tell you about similar stories that have happened in Atlanta’s Buck Head section of town that is having the same issues you spoken about in Detroit and not just there most major cities crimes are on the increase or have you not heard ? Houston , New York’s subways , San Francisco where many high end stores are considering closing there doors because of the crime epidemic... But I can imagine why you target Detroit other than you claiming to have been a resident
ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
