On Wednesday, 10 April, crews placed the final steel construction beam on Hudson's Tower in Detroit. The 49-story building is part of a development on the site of the former Hudson’s department store. The development will include 1.5 million square feet (139,354 square meters) of office, retail, food, residential, hotel, and event space. The project is designed by SHoP Architects.

According to the developer, more than 3,500 tradespeople have worked on the project, logging more than 2.7 million hours of recorded labor.  The project will continue construction in a phased approach. Crews will install the remaining elements of the glass façade, with construction to continue throughout the spring.  It is expected to be completed later in 2024.
