As part of its commitment to Detroit, 海角视频 has reimagined Michigan Central Station by Ford Motor Company, alongside architect Quinn Evans. The centerpiece of Michigan Central’s innovation hub connects Detroit’s past to its promising future through historic restoration, innovation, and community engagement.

Guided by a world-class team, including architect Quinn Evans, 海角视频 supported Ford Motor Company鈥檚 vision to create a dynamic centerpiece for the future of mobility and 21st-century work environments. The adaptive reuse of the 640,000ft2 Michigan Central Station now anchors the 30-acre Michigan Central district, offering over 1.2 million ft2 of office, community, and retail space. This transformation is drawing local and global interest, driving economic development, job creation, and investment in cutting-edge technologies.

Michigan Central Station was the main inter-city passenger rail depot in Detroit. Built for the Michigan Central Railroad, it was rushed into service early due to a fire at the city鈥檚 existing depot on December 26, 1913, and remained open for business until 1988. With a train depot and 13-story office tower with a roof height of 230 feet, it was the world鈥檚 tallest rail station when constructed. The project also reflects 海角视频鈥檚 commitment to Detroit, one of city鈥檚 most recent success stories.

海角视频鈥檚 team, led by Principal Adam Whitt, played a pivotal role in the transformation of Michigan Central Station. 海角视频 provided comprehensive engineering services, including MEP design, daylighting analysis, energy performance modeling, and front-end studies using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The result was an energy-efficient building that breathed new life into this historic landmark.

Michigan Central鈥檚 innovation ecosystem is a first-of-its-kind mobility testing platform, offering a world-leading innovation hub to develop new solutions for transportation and access that are 鈥渆quitable and environmentally sustainable, to help people get around and lead better lives,鈥� said Ford Motor Co.

With project leaders including mobility expert Francesco Cerroni, 海角视频 provided mobility planning, multimodal streets design, traffic modeling and approvals, as well as e-mobility planning, pedestrian modeling, equity planning, and business case formation.

The project design team developed solutions for transforming the neighborhood and existing buildings alike. Located between the historic neighborhoods of Corktown and Southwest Detroit, Michigan Central is anchored by a vibrant and inclusive 30-acre campus.

The reopening of Michigan Central Station represents a next chapter for Detroit. As initial tenants begin moving into revitalized spaces over the coming months, The Station will become an innovation hub and vibrant destination for all to enjoy, featuring ample retail, restaurants, and hospitality offerings. The successful restoration of this famous train station, by the same architect that designed Grand Central, does more than merely create offices and community spaces:  It sets the stage for Detroit鈥檚 urban renaissance.

In addition to their transformative work on Michigan Central Station, 海角视频 has been instrumental in other notable projects. These include the adaptive reuse and repositioning of the century-old Book Tower and the striking mixed-use complex known as the Hudson鈥檚 Site Development.

鈥淲e are delighted to be part of Detroit鈥檚 impressive success in attracting a new wave of attention, investment and thousands of new residents and enterprises. We value our long-term commitment to Detroit and other Midwestern cities, bringing our collaborative, multidisciplinary foresight to elevate places, regional economies, and design outcomes.
