Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com SKYSCRAPER PLANS SCALED BACK IN DETROIT In Detroit, plans for a 480-ft-tall skyscraper are on hold, and those for another, Bedrock LLC's mixed-use tower on the former site of the J.L Hudson department store, have been scaled back from 62 stories, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reports, citing the Detroit Free Press and Curbed Detroit. Michigan Opera Theatre, the entity behind the 480-ft-tall tower on the site of the 1922 Detroit Opera House, cited changing market conditions for its decision. Bedrock, meanwhile, announced in late January it still plans to create a "tremendously impactful" building, though it will not be the city's tallest. Ground was broken on the site in December 2017. Bedrock has hardly been idle in the Motor City, responsible for projects including the office-to-residential conversion of the David Stott Building, completed in summer 2019, that restored it to its 1929 Art Deco glory. Bedrock tells EW that Schindler handled elevator modernization, which was particularly challenging since the floorplan involved a "huge core in the center containing six elevators."

On today’s episode, we check in with soccer correspondent Fletcher Sharpe about Detroit City FC’s new coach, Trevor James, and what it means for the club as it prepares for its first (semi) season of professional soccer. Elsewhere, I-696 has now been almost fully reopened after the long delay following a labor dispute and problems encountered by cold and wet winter weather. In Warren, construction has apparently loosed a plague of rats on Jim Fouts’ fair city. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer traveled to the Affirmations community center in Ferndale today to sign her executive order prohibiting discrimination against gay and transgender state employees. Her directive goes farther than a similar order signed by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder during his waning days in office last month. Greta Van Fleet, the pride of Frankenmuth, will headline Saturday Night Live on Jan. 19. And we catch up on some key restaurant/bar openings and closings. Among them: Shimmy Shack is gearing up to open its brick-and-mortar eatery in Plymouth Township later this month. (Facebook) The Royal Oak nightclub Luna has closed its doors after 19 years of getting people really drunk. (Facebook) There’s a new Biggby Coffee on Livernois in Detroit (Daily Detroit) In Birmingham, Hunter House might be demolished for a five-story mixed-use development. (Hometown Life) And Woodbridge’s latest eatery is Japanese izakaya Katsu Detroit, with tatami-style tables up in front. (Eater Detroit) And in our “reads” section, check out this piece by Robin Runyan in Curbed Detroit about a Detroiter that’s rehabbing their childhood home they found on the Land Bank auction site.
