Ford Buys Former Train Station

It's official: Ford buys former train station

Why??

Uh.. read the article.

It very clearly states Ford is building a metro campus for it's automatic and electrification division. IE they are building an Apple-esque campus in downtown Detroit for it's future endeavors. It's trendy to restore old buildings like this.. makes younger folks want to come work for them, and it's in the center of the metro. Gives people the ability to walk to work/enjoy a future focused historical building. Blah blah blah.. you get it.

Pretty interesting concept. That building just looks so damn cool.

Finally some new life for this building besides some scenes in Transformers. Its not quite in the center of Detroit so walking to and from work would not be ideal; unless you lived in the Corktown neighborhood.

Some cool photos of Michigan Central Station for anyone that cares.

Can't wait to see what they do with it. I wish we still built architecture like that today. That style and Victorian style is really cool looking.

Reminds me of Minute Maid Park here in Houston where the Astros play. They renovated the old Union Station train station (built in 1911) and made it into the main entrance for the ballpark.

Probably got a good deal after Batman tore up Superman in there. Going to need some structural renovations after that.
