Cadillac Centre is an anticipated contemporary skyscraper complex to be constructed in downtown Detroit, Michigan on the Monroe block of Campus Martius.[1][2] In January 2008, the city announced that the complex was approved for construction with groundbreaking expected September 2009.[1] Expected to cost $150 million, the mixed-use development is planned to have two 24-story towers rising from a 12-story base which will connect to Cadillac Tower.[1] The upscale residential high-rise is slated to include a retail and entertainment complex. The architect is Professor Anthony Caradonna whose recent projects have included the Hotel Duomo in Molfetta, Italy and the Bar Solex in New York City.[1]
Impact
The $150 million Cadillac Center is expected to have a profound impact on development in downtown Detroit. Anthony Caradonna's steel-glass design is reminiscent of the Guggenheim.[2] The mixed-use residential and commercial complex is slated to face Campus Martius Park, a central gathering place in downtown Detroit. Other skyscrapers on Campuse Martius include Compuware World Headquarters, 1001 Woodward, and One Kennedy Square. The developer Northern Group is the owner of Detroit's Penobscot Building, First National Building, and Cadillac Tower. The Cadillac Tower is to connect to the new Cadillac Centre.[2]
