The Fisher Building was acquired in 2015, ultimately leading to the creation of The Platform. In the next several years, over $50 million will be invested in the restoration and modernization of the Fisher Building to reinstate the Fisher brother’s vision of a premier space for office, retail, and entertainment. 

With limited space Downtown for their central headquarters, the Fisher brothers settled in New Center in the 1920s and commissioned Albert Kahn to design the Fisher Building. The building was financed with proceeds from the sale of the Fisher Body to General Motors. Under construction for two years, this Art Deco masterpiece was completed in 1928. World-class architects, engineers, builders, craftspeople, and artists were commissioned to create what is now known as "Detroit's Largest Art Object." The building was quickly honored with a silver medal in architecture in 1929 by the Architecture League of New York. The Great Depression hit a year after the Fisher Building’s completion, thwarting the Fisher brothers’ grand vision for two additional towers.
