New renderings for the residential side of Bedrock's long-awaited Hudson's Detroit tower dropped yesterday, serving up the sharpest look yet at what life could be like dozens of stories above Woodward Avenue. The images showcase condominium homes perched over a five-star hotel, with private terraces, tall ceilings and polished designer finishes filling out the skyline-defining project on the former J.L. Hudson department store site. For Detroiters who watched that block sit empty for decades, the glossy visuals make the promise of actual residents feel a lot less theoretical.
A photo gallery from The Detroit News zooms in on floor-to-ceiling glass, sweeping river views and private outdoor terraces on the upper levels. The renderings mix interior snapshots with aerial and street-level views, laying out how the condos stack within the tower and how they will look from the sidewalk.
What the renderings show
Douglas Elliman's sales materials describe The Residences at The Detroit EDITION as occupying the tower floors above a five-star EDITION hotel, with 97 one- to four-bedroom condominium homes and interiors by Yabu Pushelberg, according to Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. Local coverage and marketing copy also lean hard on the extra perks: hotel-style services and residents-only amenity spaces, including a fitness center, outdoor terraces and in-residence dining, WXYZ reports.
Timeline, sales and pricing
Condo units are expected to be available starting in 2027, with prices beginning near $550,000 and running above $3 million, according to Axios. The project's directory lists The Residences at The Detroit EDITION at 1208 Woodward Avenue and the adjoining base office building at 1240 Woodward Avenue, spelling out where lobby, sales and amenity spaces meet the street, per the Hudson's Detroit directory.
Why it matters for Detroit
The mixed-use complex is the capstone to a long-running push to reinvent the Hudson's block and is already reshaping downtown. General Motors has said it will move substantial operations into the site's office base, and the tower now rises roughly 685 feet over Woodward Avenue, altering the city's skyline, AP News reports. "People are saying this isn't your father's or grandfather's Detroit anymore," developer Dan Gilbert told AP, framing the project as both a high-dollar real estate play and a symbol of where the city is trying to go.
