Ford's $950M Restoration Revives Detroit's Historic Train Station
Ford Motor has transformed the abandoned Michigan Central Station in Detroit into a new $950 million technology campus, symbolizing the city's revival. The project, delayed by the pandemic, includes the 18-story station and adjacent buildings, offering 1.2 million square feet of commercial space. The campus aims to attract top talent and foster innovation, housing 2,500 employees, including electric vehicle and connected services teams. The restoration preserves historical elements and graffiti, reflecting the station's past. The public can visit the ground floor until mid-June before commercial occupants move in this fall.
