Detroit’s Redeveloped Book Tower Will Feature ROOST Apartment Hotel

Bedrock, Detroit’s largest real estate developer, will make the Book Tower home to ROOST Apartment Hotel, Detroit’s first high design extended stay concept. The 1916 Washington Boulevard landmark will feature 118 studio, one and two-bedroom ROOST extended stay apartments across four floors of the redevelopment.  

The Book Tower is currently undergoing an extensive historic restoration and is set to reopen in late 2022 with a mix of retail, office and residential space. The new ROOST at Book Tower will be operated by Philadelphia-based hospitality company Method Co., which is responsible for several ROOST locations nationally.  

“As Detroit continues to grow as a place where people want to live, work and play, the ROOST Apartment Hotel will offer a completely new hospitality option for those who may be relocating to the city, but also for those who just want to enjoy a few nights downtown,” said Kofi Bonner, CEO of Bedrock
