Hudson's Tower Revitalizes Detroit

In downtown Detroit, the historic Hudson's department store once stood as a symbol of the city's growth and prosperity.

Before the rise of suburban malls, Hudson's was a prominent feature of the city's landscape, mirroring the opulence of the auto-manufacturing town.

The towering department store... soured with population shifts and economic downturns.

In 1998, the 25-story building was demolished, leaving a void in the city's landscape.

Today, a new development stands on the Woodward Avenue site, featuring a 45-story tower and a 12-story office building, sparking hope for Detroit's revitalization.
