The Michigan Central Station in Detroit has undergone a dramatic $950 million restoration by Ford, transforming the once-decayed landmark into a beautifully restored site. Before-and-after photos highlight the extensive renovations, including the restoration of the Great Hall's ceiling, the concourse's steel and glass ceiling, and the return of the historic train clock. The project also preserved some urban art as a nod to the station's history.
The once-abandoned Michigan Central Station in Detroit has been meticulously restored to its 1913 grandeur by Ford, involving 3,100 skilled workers and over 1.7 million hours of labor. The station, now a symbol of Detroit's resurgence, will open for public tours and a grand opening concert on June 6. The restoration included recreating original materials using 3D printing and extensive archival research. The building will feature 640,000 square feet of retail, hospitality, community, and office space, signaling Detroit's leadership in urban revitalization.
