A number of developments are underway New Center and Milwaukee Junction, and The Platform, which owns the Fisher Building, is involved in many of them. Tenants are moving in to the first of its completed buildings, Baltimore Station 1 on Woodward Avenue, which has been under construction for a couple years. This 27,110-square-foot mixed-use building has 23 apartments. Five of the units will lease for 80 percent of the area median income, or for households that make less than $45,440 per year.

Developers offered a look Monday at the progress on a $16 million project to turn a cold storage building into a co-working space and food hall in the Milwaukee Junction neighborhood.
The first floor-to-ceiling window has been installed in the nine-story building at 2937-67 E. Grand Blvd. It will be among dozens of windows that will pour light into the long-abandoned building known for its rainbow-colored mural.
“It is a relatively small project but because it is out of the norm, it attracts a great deal of interest,” said Peter Cummings, executive The Platform, the Detroit-based development group undertaking the project.
