DETROIT-General Motors Corp. has modified plans for a large mixed-use complex inthe Rivereast District of Downtown. The company, which owns the neighboring 1-million-sf, five-tower, office/hotel Renaissance Center, had planned on building a 2,000-space parking structure with retail and attached office tower in the area of Beaubien, Atwater and St. Antoine streets.
