Michigan Central Station renovation update. Detroit, Michigan.
Michigan Central Station is a historic building located in Detroit, Michigan. Built in the Beaux-Arts architectural style, it served as the main intercity passenger rail depot for Detroit from its completion in 1913 until it ceased operation in 1988. The station was designed by the architects Warren & Wetmore and Reed and Stem, who also designed New York City's Grand Central Terminal.
For many years after its closure, the station stood abandoned and fell into a state of disrepair, becoming an iconic symbol of Detroit's decline. However, in recent years, there have been efforts to revitalize the building. In 2018, it was announced that the station had been purchased by Ford Motor Company with plans to renovate it into a mixed-use development, including office space for Ford's autonomous and electric vehicle divisions, retail space, residential units, and community areas. This project is seen as a significant step in the ongoing revitalization of Detroit's downtown area.

Oh so good. Keep it up mike.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Thank you so much for the Super Thanks! You're very kind.

[@robguilfoil2470]

Ford should be given a lot of credit for taking this project on and significantly contributing to the revival of Detroit.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

I agree! They saved the building.

[@michaelsheedy]

I agree...looks like Ford development learned a lot after building the Renaissance Center in the 70's. However, Detroit needs to expand the Q Line down Michigan Av. to Corktown to connect it to Downtown.

[@kurtboginski507]

Sure glad that Bill Ford took on that project. A beautiful building and a real work of art on the inside. Hope it proves out to be a great anchor point for Detroit's future. Thanks once again for another great video.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelsheedy]

Looks like a gorgeous restoration and a real plus for the Metro area.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Yes indeed

[@chrisnichols4962]

I was at a union gathering in Roosevelt Park in September. The Michigan Central Station has never looked better in my lifetime. The city has done a great restoration of the park. My thanks to the Ford family for their commitment to Detroit. Great job on the video, and keep up the excellent work. ❤👍💯

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

That’s a beautiful park with a great view of the building too. Thank you and thanks for watching the video! 🙏

[@tfoen7678]

It's come a long way from the beginning. Stay tuned for more beautiful things to come

[@deanb3033]

Wow, another fabulous job as always Michael, too bad the eagle wasnt perched on the corner of the building again. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Glad you enjoyed it Dean! The eagle would have been nice to see again. Thank you for watching and your continued support!

[@blackmoom]

Your videos are outstanding! I've been enjoying them for months and just subscribed 👍. Keep up the excellent work!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Thank you very much and thank you for watching the videos!

[@Mark-oy1wv]

It’s amazing that many people gave your comment a like, meaning that they agree with you but they didn’t give the video a like. Cmon people we’re better than that

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

@@Mark-oy1wvActually I get a lot of thumbs down when I check my analytics. It could possibly be from other drone channels.

[@sparkybluefox]

Another tour de force example of precision flying and great framing of the shots.... The sound score was also spot on awesome! Great fun watching!!!!!! BRAVO sbf

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Thank you and thanks for watching the videos!

[@mtoscano343]

Thanks Bill Ford! Thanks also to all the union workers who’ve made this happen!

😃 “ INCREDIBLE!…. I’m not from Detroit or never been There. Regardless, I’m just glad to see It experiencing a significant ‘ urban renaissance ’ unlike any other since the Early-20th century. ‘ The Motor City ’ has long been fairly and unfairly maligned because of crime, violence, population loss, racial strife, municipal corruption, and other socioeconomic issues. Nevertheless, It deserves the unprecedented level of civic pride and ongoing revitalization underway. ”

[@mikeslaton6498]

Used to be the wealthiest city in the world.

[@4knanapapa]

Paris of the Midwest, my mom and dad moved to Detroit from northern Mich in the 30s, I remember my mother saying Detroit has the best parks, schools, city services, zoo, etc, great place to live and raise a family.

[@CrankyHermit]

So glad to see this happening in Detroit. Best wishes for a thriving future, from KC.

[@larrykurtxt6773]

This is so great to see.

[@4knanapapa]

It took almost 400 years for Detroit to go from a river front fort to a city of well over a million people, it's rebirth has begun again at the river, and is moving outward to all of Detroit and beyond, the train station will be a big part, love it.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

The river walk is beautiful!

[@johnkidney1017]

Thank you for filming this and posting! It's great to see the progress

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

It's my pleasure!

[@jimmyconnor9541]

Really interested to see what they do with the back “yard” of the building

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

I’m hoping that Amtrak returns and leaves that ridiculous shack off of Woodward.

[@burnsie581]

​@@michaelanthonyvideosMDOT is planning a new bus/train station across the tracks from the current Amtrak shed. Amtrak will only stop at the MC Depot if one train is diverted to Windsor from Pontiac.

[@Fleetwoodjohn]

Anyone from Detroit knows this building and how far abandoned it was. The fact they restored this place is nothing short of a miracle. So many other beautiful buildings have been leveled here its a miracle this one survived.

Love this video, perfect video, the drone is the best way to get up close to the building. It’s a magnificent building and so glad the Bill Ford, Jr has preserved it !

Well done.

Thank you! 🙏✌

[@dizzotizzo69]

Any estimate on the date of completion?

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Not sure. There have been a few delays. Thank you for watching!

[@YTHatesMe-999]

Good video. Who's doing the background music? Nice.

[@cdnpont]

The music is fine! Horses built it before.

[@brucebeamon5460]

Guess WE can AGREE that Mr. Mauel Moroun DID ONE THING RIGHT in holding on to THIS BUILDING until THE RIGHT BUYER CAME ALONG in FORD MOTOR COMPANY !

[@MewDenise]

But are trains coming back?

[@afieldsy8236]

What is this structure in the thumbnail photo?

[@joeforest8633]

Music kinda has a Barney Miller theme song vibe to it!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

Yeah it does!!!

[@mortsey]

I wonder if when it was built if Detroit thought the neighborhood around would be built up like in New York.

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

It used to be.

[@Robbi496]

Great work, but cannot see how they could ever use any part of it for rail passenger service?

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

The tracks are still there…

[@Robbi496]

Yes, but they are way far away from where the platforms used to be!

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

That's true but they can easily change that.@@Robbi496

[@waynecopple385]

It would be nice if they could use it for train service again. From the video it looks like the are between the station and the existing tracks is planned for other uses.

[@sortedsortof3474]

Some commentary would have been nice.

[@johnuhelski8613]

Note : Most all workers are simply standing around ..... I will let you draw your own conclusions !

[@tfoen7678]

It's a Sunday. Lions were playing the Bears at Ford field today. Union break...I'm guessing?

[@johnuhelski8613]

@@tfoen7678 Well said my friend ......

[@brucebeamon5460]

If that’s ALL they were doing the building would still be in the condition it was b4 the renovation began ! Personally I say they’ve been doing a BEAUTIFUL JOB !

[@m42037]

Change the station, play real funk from the 70s
