Ford also rebuilt the the book building across the street.

This is Detroit’s long-abandoned train station, which has been brought back to life by the Ford Motor Company as a new center for tech innovation. Its rebirth will be complete this Thursday with an official reopening party for the public.

Directly across from the renovated train station, there’s a proof of concept: Detroit’s old book depository building, which was also abandoned for decades, has also been restored. It reopened last year and houses an incubator of about 100 high-tech mobility start-ups, such as ESSPI.
