Detroit-based Bedrock Real Estate Services unveiled updated plans for two mixed-use development projects totaling $1.6 billion in downtown Detroit. They include a proposed more than $800-million Monroe Blocks office tower (pictured above) and a $775-million, 52-story Hudson Tower (pictured below) at the site of the former J.L.

It would be the tallest building in Detroit at 734 feet, and is gearing up to break ground in December.
