Does anybody know the approximate square footage of the Hudson's site that Quicken Loans is considering? I was told 95,000 but that seems a bit large, doesn't it? Thanks in advance all! | ||

Yes somebody knows the approximate square footage of the Hudson's site that Quicken Loans is considering? I don't though. | ||

2 acres according to the Free Press: http://64.233.169.104/search?q =cache:c-VJkAgl3UkJ:www.freep. com/apps/pbcs.dll/article%3FAI D%3D/20070824/BUSINESS04/70824 0396/1118/RSS+%22Hudson%27s+lo t%22+detroit+size&hl=en&ct=cln k&cd=1&gl=us | ||

IIRC, the dimensions are 420 by 220 feet, according to Jean Maddern Pitrone's Hudson's book. But I don't know if that's the whole block, or was just the building itself. If you really want to be exact, remember that the Woodward sidewalk was widened for the ill-starred "Woodward Mall" project. | ||

greatlakes: 2 acres = 87,120 sq ft burnsie: 420 x 220 = 96,800 google earth: 418 x 218 (approx) = 91,124 so your 95,000 sq foot estimate seems pretty close, at least as close as we can reasonably get without getting out there and measuring it ourselves. | ||

420 x 220 building footprint according to Controlled Demolition, the company the conducted the implosion of Hudson's. http://www.controlled-demoliti on.com/default.asp?reqLocId=7& reqItemId=20030225133807 Burnsie, I'm not familiar with the 'Woodward Mall' project that you speak of. Could you give me some more information? | ||

"I'm not familiar with the 'Woodward Mall' project" Ever see those big granite cylinders along lower woodward (not sure if they are still out there)? Apparently they were going to anchor a canopy structure. | ||

The idea was to turn that stretch of woodward into a pedestrian mall. The road would be closed off to cars, and there would be a canopy and landscaping, etc. It was a modernization project with the intention of re-inventing and saving what was then a high end shopping street. |
