"One downtown, two empires: Mike Ilitch and Dan Gilbert reshape Detroit."

 

Dan Gilbert owns several dozen buildings in the greater downtown area, including some skyscrapers. The Ilitch family plan to redevelop the entire Arena District. 

 

                                  “A revitalized downtown will begin to attract investment from outside the city, will

                                   begin to attract businesses to consider moving into the city, and so it certainly is a

                                   place to start,” Mogk, J. 2015 .
