It’s SHoP, so I don’t think there’s any need to worry. The materials will be great in quality. The tower itself is boxy, but the protruding observatory is relatively unique. (30 hudson yards comes to mind) It looks like a better looking, modern version of the New Orleans Plaza Tower. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/b/f/bf68784fc1b230e8b09d8f9b5f0aa056abcc9d60.jpeg) ---

Went to Detroit last week. I passed by the construction site, but it hasn’t risen above the fences. Lucky I live an hour and a half from Detroit, so I’ll try my best to provide some updates! ---
