The Former Michigan Central Station Reimagined—A Complex Collaboration Coming to a Close

The former Michigan Central Station is symbolic of both the decline and resurgence of Detroit. Acquired by Ford Motor Company in 2018, the station has been reimagined and undergone a comprehensive rehabilitation. With the station project nearing completion, this presentation provides an update on the station’s transformation. EverGreene has collaborated with Christman|Brinker Corktown on this monumental effort for the last five years. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about this breathtaking project to revive the iconic logistics hub.
