Related Companies, Olympia Development of Michigan, and the University of Michigan have announced plans to build the Detroit Center for Innovation (DCI) within The District Detroit, a mixed-use sports and entertainment destination around the Little Caesars Arena.
The project was previously announced in 2019 for a site in downtown Detroit that was once intended to house a new Wayne County jail, with construction expected to begin this year. The Detroit Center for Innovation is now slated for a 2023 groundbreaking.
What Happened
The three-building, approximately 4-acre DCI campus will be anchored by an estimated $250-million, 200,000-square-foot research and education center operated by U-M, which is scheduled to include a technology incubator in the to-be restored and expanded former Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge building at the site on Detroit’s Cass Avenue.
