What a crazy 24 year comeback for the city of Detroit. Has to be satisfying for the men and women workers to look up at that and say "I did that" for the rest of their lives..

CONGRATULATIONS Mr . Gilbert… and MANY THANKS for implementing YOUR VISION here which I believe can be considered a TRUE success for yourself and the city of DETROIT 👏🏿

who are those 2 insane dudes standing on the beam just waiting casually for the last beam?

[@Sterling-gc6rc]

Ikr I was thinking the same thing! Iron workers are bad!

[@PopBodhi]

Love it! Go Detroit!

Congrats

Why is there a tree on it?

[@PopBodhi]

"The practice of "topping out" a new building can be traced to the ancient Scandinavian religious rite of placing a tree atop a new building to appease the tree-dwelling spirits displaced in its construction."

[@brucebeamon5460]

Thanks for the explanation…. I’ve seen that being done FOR DECADES and knew it was customary ( for a reason but I never knew the full story )

[@thebestchannel5456]

Nice i just wish they'd stuck to the original height 912 but better than nothing i guess

[@PopBodhi]

The glass is indeed half-full! Lovin' the new tower.

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

Financing and cost caused the downsizing

[@Sterling-gc6rc]

I wanted 912 too plus the Original design. Gilbert's worth 32 billion. How was financing a problem??

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

@@Sterling-gc6rc cost of everything went up due to inflation. Plus manpower was probably limited due to the pandemic and finding so many Detroiters whom are qualified to meet quotas
