The five-story, 115,000-sf office development will be the home of 400 PriceWaterhouseCoopers employees and other tenants, according to Tom Lewand, Lions chief operating officer. In addition, an upscale hotel offering 130 to 200 rooms is in the works for the former Hudson's warehouse attached to Ford Field, Lewand adds. "We'd like to get both projects completed in time for the 2006 Super Bowl" at Ford Field," Lewand says.
Construction on the office building and parking deck will start in the fall and be completed by late 2005. The building is being designed by Rossetti Architects in Southfield, which also designed Ford Field, the $500-million, 60,000-seat complex the Lions moved into in 2002.
Lewand says the hotel would be at the western end of the Hudson's warehouse portion of Ford Field and overlook a large atrium. He expects to name a hotel operator in the next several months.
The parking deck will accommodate 1,000 vehicles, the Lions say.
