Fisher Building 3011 WEST GRAND BOULEVARD, DETROIT RETAIL SPACE AVAILABLE FOR LEASE PLATFORM LEASING & BROKERAGE 2 FISHER BUILDING PLATFORM LEASING & BROKERAGE 3 Fisher Building 3011 WEST GRAND BOULEVARD, DETROIT Sitting at Detroit’s geographic and metaphoric center, the Fisher Building is emerging once again as an engine of creativity and a hub for the City. Completed in 1928, the Fisher brothers spared no expense in the building’s construction, which is evidenced by the spectacular frescos, mosaics, marble and brass work adorning its surfaces. The Platform is reactivating the Fisher brothers’ original vision in a way that resonates with current and future residents of the City. The intent is to develop a fully occupied and upgraded Class A retail, office and entertainment destination that marries the historic and modern. More than $10 million has been invested into “Detroit’s Largest Art Object” since 2016, providing heating and cooling in the three-story Arcade, restoring its hand painted ceilings and installing new elevators. THE FISHER BUILDING IS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK TOURED BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY YEAR. In 2020, The Platform initiated a new phase of restoration focused on the Fisher Building facade. Its 325,000 square feet of marble is being surveyed to determine the best way to preserve its integrity and beauty for generations to come.

    Nisbett Building and Fairman Building Rehabilitation Projects

    Historic Preservation in HistoricMichigan Preservation Big Rapids Housing Commission and Hollander Development Nisbett Building and Fairman Building Rehabilitation Projects Nisbett Building The Big Rapids Housing Commission, responding to increasing demand for high quality affordable housing, recognized that a downtown location offered potential residents a broader and more accessible service base than more suburban locations while expanding Fairman Building the market for downtown merchants. The commission partnered with Hollander Development to rehabilitate the Nisbett and Fairman Buildings, located in the heart of Big Rapids. By combining a wide variety of public and private funding with the federal and state historic preservation tax credits, the development team was able to make this combined $5.2-million-dollar investment possible. The projects created 47 new residential units, 38 of which are guaranteed to be affordable units; rehabilitated nearly 126,000 square feet of under- utilized commercial space; and created outdoor space for the use of the residents. The partnership between the Big Rapids Housing Commission and Hollander Development demonstrates that creativity is the key to reinvigorating communities. Historic Preservation in HistoricMichigan Preservation Eric, Tobi and Ryan Breisach 714 Wheaton Avenue, Kalamazoo, State TaxCredit Project The house at 714 Wheaton Avenue was built in 1891 and modified in 1950 by removing the front porch and building an enclosed stair addition to convert the resource to a triplex rental. The interior’s historic character suffered from the installation of false ceilings, inappropriate materials that covered plaster walls and floors, and water damage. Eric and Ryan Breisach, the father and son construction crew, hired a local contractor to help them finish a complete rehabilitation of the resource during the summer and fall of 2003.

    2004 Annual Report in PDF Format

    “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” Henry Ford A Welcome from the Chairman and the President Where do great ideas come from? Who will plant the seeds of inspiration for gen- erations to come? How can we ensure a better tomorrow? Who will be the next Edison or Einstein, the next John F. Kennedy or Rosa Parks? Who will be the next ordinary person with an idea that changes the world? The Inspiration Project: The Campaign to Transform The Henry Ford rises to answer these important questions. On October 21, 2004, this bold initiative was presented to 250 community lead- ers who gathered to commemorate The Henry Ford’s landmark 75th anniversary and the many extraordinary moments in its history that have inspired generations.They also learned about the host of endeavors that are carrying us toward an even brighter future with new and revitalized exhibits and galleries, improved services and facilities, and robust new programming. The Inspiration Project is helping us secure the funds necessary to develop these expe- riences.The scope of investors in this effort is truly inspiring. By the end of 2004, we accomplished 75 percent of our strategic plan goals and raised more than 75 percent of the campaign’s $155 million goal—a fitting accomplishment for our 75th anniversary. We thank our investors and join them in inviting everyone who believes in the value of this institution to make a contribution to the Inspiration Project. Dollars invested wisely today will be an inspiration to the ordinary visitors who may someday transform all of our daily lives into extraordinary ones.

    New Attitude VOLUME 8 ISSUE 2 FEBRUARY 2018 Pure Detroit opens in Cobo Center for the auto show Pure Detroit has grown from the ground up, thanks to community support for 20 years. The first Pure Detroit store opened on Thanksgiving Day in 1998 in the David Whitney Building downtown. Since then, Pure Detroit has grown to five locations, each located in landmark Detroit buildings: the Fisher Building, the Guardian Building, the GM Renaissance Center, the Strathmore, and the Belle Isle Aquarium. “A Pure Detroit Shop on the Cobo Center concourse, open for all events, will connect visitors from all over the world to the culture and hospitality of Detroit,” said Claude Molinari, general manager of Cobo Center. “It is another big step in making our customers feel that Cobo is ‘Centered Around You,’ and immersing them in our mission to deliver outstanding event experiences.” Pure Detroit's mission is multi-faceted. As urbanists, they strive to help create vibrant ground-level retail activ- ity in downtown Detroit. As proprietors, they seek to provide a touching point for residents and visitors to the city for Detroit's rich history and contemporary culture. Cobo Center Bees Hunker Down for the Winter on the Green Roof Honey bees in the Cobo Center hives adjacent to the green roof prepare for winter by gathering a surplus of honey and pollen. They form a big group hug (or a winter cluster) to keep the queen warm once temps start to drop. The honey bees use this group hug to keep the center around 85 degrees! The heat is created by the bees vibrating their wing muscles.
