Capitol Park on the Rise
Things are looking up for Capitol Park as renovation work picks up in one of downtown Detroit's oldest districts. Bedrock Real Estate are the ones responsible for kicking up the dust.
Work was already underway to renovate the Bamlet Building (1897) when Bedrock announced this week that it had acquired two additional buildings and a surface lot in Capital Park.
With the purchase of the Church Building (1895) at 45 W. Grand River Avenue and the six-story building at 119 State Street (1887), Bedrock now controls nearly 92,000 square feet of space within the district.
No announcement was made for the development of the 4,000 square foot lot next to The Grind strip club at 28 West Grand River Avenue, but Opportunity Detroit's Placemaking and Retail Vision suggests a residential/retail building at that location.

Nothing Special at Capitol Park
The reconstruction of Capitol Park is complete and I will have to agree with the majority opinion, it is nothing special. I was underwhelmed by the design when I walked through it last week. The one thing that it did have going for it was the lack a homeless people milling about. If the new park is to become a catalyst for the regeneration of that section of downtown, as intended, that is an important first step.
