Michigan Central Station Development
Ford Motor Company is reaching out to the community to receive input on the transformation of the iconic Michigan Central Station into the centerpiece of an innovation hub. Ford’s investment will include the development of a total of 1.2 million square feet of office, retail, parking and residential space to be housed in new and existing buildings within the Corktown neighborhood. Ford’s plans are anchored in a rehabilitated historic Michigan Central Station, which is expected to include retail and public spaces in the Grand Hall, and commercial office and residential space in the tower.
