The building will be constructed mainly on the site of a parking lot at the north-east corner of Griswold and Grand River.

Construction on the apartment building is slated to begin in the early part of this year and to be ready for occupancy by late 2016.
Bedrock Real Estate Services Real Estate Development director Steve Ogden was quoted by The Detroit News as saying: “This would be our first construction of residential downtown.”
