One Strong Building - Moving Detroit

Revitalization of the 90+ year-old U-Haul Nabisco building in New Center Detroit involves more than just making repairs and slapping on a new coat of paint. It also requires imagining what was, and translating that into a vision of what can be. In the short video below, we give you a glimpse of the U-Haul Nabisco building in the early stages of revitalization. Local contractors who are working to help bring the building back to life speak about the importance and value of what one calls, “One strong building.”

Enjoy, and stay tuned for more.
