  • 19-6299 Address: 511 Woodward Historic District: Detroit Financial Applicant: Michael Lawrence/Yamasaki
    STAFF REPORT 06-26-2019 MEETING PREPARED BY: G. LANDSBERG APPLICATION NUMBER: 19-6299 ADDRESS: 511 WOODWARD HISTORIC DISTRICT: DETROIT FINANCIAL APPLICANT: MICHAEL LAWRENCE/YAMASAKI DATE OF STAFF VISIT: 06-07-2019 511 Woodward, View from Northeast. Staff photo, June 7, 2019. PROPOSAL The building at 511 Woodward is a 5-story office building with mirrored bronze glazing and brown brick accents constructed in the early 1970s. A narrow linear plaza and several tree planters, also executed in brown brick in a style typical of the era, provides a narrow public space along the front of the building. Rooftop mechanical enclosures are unusually large with respect to the small size of the building and appear to be shaped in an attempt to unify the composition of the building. The building occupies a prominent location on Woodward, mediating between Detroit’s primary boulevard and the landmark Guardian Building immediately adjacent to the west. The applicant is seeking the Commission’s approval for the following scope: • Removal of the existing curtain wall and replacing with a new curtain wall system with Low E butt glass. • Addition of a 1’-6” deep screen wall over most of the building facade. • Maintain the existing screen walls at roof. • Addition of stair to cover floors 1 and 2 for the east end of the building. • Development of the exterior plaza to lower the finish floor elevation to match the west end of the building along Congress. Plaza floor level and 1st floor of the building will match. Outdoor patio space to be activated from the tenant areas on the 1st floor.

  • Judge Files to Claim Riverwalk Trademark Conservancy Officials Surprised at Move; Name Is Not Protected
    20160104-NEWS--0001-NAT-CCI-CD_-- 12/30/2015 4:19 PM Page 1 Model citizens: Couple’s creations display city’s present, future, PAGE 18 JANUARY 4-10, 2016 Judge files to claim RiverWalk trademark Conservancy officials surprised at move; name is not protected By Robert Snell [email protected] A Wayne County judge privately aims to snatch the Detroit RiverWalk name from the nonprofit group that built one of Detroit’s premier recreational spots and plans to profit off the brand name by peddling T- shirts, hats and hoodies. Judge Terrance Keith of Wayne County Pro- bate Court filed two trademark applications last month for the names “The Detroit River- Walk” and “RiverWalk Detroit,” according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The move surprised Detroit RiverFront Conservancy officials, who admit they failed to trademark the name after the RiverWalk debuted in 2007. The move to sell merchan- dise stamped with the RiverWalk name could mean, if unchallenged, the nonprofit loses a potential revenue stream at a time when the riverfront is poised for expansion. “I’d like to give a portion of the proceeds to them, but not all,” Keith said. “If I can use this to further benefit agencies, OK, and still make some money for myself, that is what I would like to do.” The conservancy, launched in 2003 to SEE RIVERWALK, PAGE 19 Million-dollar deals: Market for high-end homes sees best year in a decade By Vickie Elmer of $1.7 million nor icy roads slowed Dozens of homes in Birming- Special to Crain’s Detroit Business them down.
