The vision of the 14-acre district is to turn the area into a Life Science Innovation building in partnership with organizations such as BAMF Health, Michigan Innovation Headquarters (MI-HQ), Ferris State University, as well as Wayne State University and its TechTown Detroit entrepreneurship hub.
According to Bedrock, the plan hopes the area will become a premier hub for advancing precision technology, personalized medicine, and biotech while offering comprehensive education and talent development opportunities.
The proposed building will be at the center of the 4-mile Detroit Innovation Corridor.
“Having access to top educational institutions, a diverse talent pool and fostering cross-industry collaboration in close proximity to major markets has made this visionary project possible,” said Kofi Bonner, chief executive officer at Bedrock. “Bedrock’s plan for this transformative district will not only bring renowned expertise to Detroit but expand the city’s knowledge economy and benefit the community for generations to come.”
