It's a new chapter for Detroit's skyline! The 12-story Hudson’s Detroit building at 1240 Woodward is now officially complete. 🏙️📣 Developed by Bedrock Detroit and designed by SHoP Architects, the shorter of the two Hudson’s Detroit structures introduces new office, retail, and event space right along Woodward Avenue. Tenants include General Motors, ROCK, ALO, Tecovas, and The Department at Hudson’s, a 56,000-square-foot venue. Since its debut in Spring 2025, The Department at Hudson’s has already attracted thousands of visitors to Detroit through community-defining events such as Global Citizen NOW, Crain’s Detroit Business Homecoming and Summit Detroit. Boasting 56,000 square feet of flexible space, The Department at Hudson’s is on course to host dozens of events in 2025. Features inside the 12-story building include a seven-story atrium filled with natural light and live vegetation, flexible office suites with skyline views, and amenities such as a café, fitness center, multi-sport simulator, and pickleball court. ☕️📝🌿 The ground level features GM’s new lobby and public showroom, “Entrance One,” a nod to the former J.L. Hudson Department Store’s historic employee entrance on Farmer Street. Nearby, Nick Gilbert Way, a new public plaza honoring the late son of Dan and Jennifer Gilbert, will open November 6 with retail pop-ups, art installations, and community programming. 🎶 When complete, the full Hudson’s Detroit development will include both the newly finished 12-story office and retail building and a 45-story tower with The Detroit EDITION Hotel and The Residences at The Detroit EDITION, featuring dining, a spa, pool, fitness center, and event spaces. The tower is expected to open in 2027. #Detroit #VisitDetroit #DetroitNews #DowntownDetroit

Of course, there has always been a cat and mouse game played by journalists and the government officials they cover.
