On a recent episode of the Daily Detroit podcast, I spoke with Ferndale’s assistant city manager, Joseph Gacioch, about the dot, the $28 million mixed-use parking structure that’s set to begin construction early next month on Troy Street.
It’s a major development for the city, nearly tripling parking capacity on the site, adding four stories plus one underground level of parking, adding more than 11,000 square feet of new retail space and, possibly, new office space and housing. But it also means taking downtown Ferndale’s busiest parking lot offline for more than a year, adding to parking woes and stresses for local businesses.
Gacioch tells us about the project and how a parking structure fits in with the city’s vision for placemaking and a more vibrant downtown for business owners.
More renderings are below. The city’s website for all things the dot is here.
