So far, 3,500 tradespeople have worked more than 2.7 million hours getting the project to this milestone, something that would not have been possible without their hard work, according to a press release sent by Bedrock.
“The talent and dedication of Detroit’s tradespeople has been a driving force on the Hudson’s Site and integral to achieving this landmark project,” Dan Gilbert, Founder & Chairman of , said in that release.
“We are proud of their individual contributions, that will make this a generational development and will surely enhance the city’s skyline for Detroiters and visitors for decades to come.”

Work on the site’s construction will continue in phases. It is expected to be completed by next year.
