DETROIT - We are getting a look at what the inside of a rehabilitated Book Tower could look like as Dan Gilbert's Bedrock announces an architect for the design project. ODA has been selected to design a mix of residential, hospitality, retail and office space at the Book Tower in Downtown Detroit.

DETROIT - Dan Gilbert is adding to his Detroit real estate book. Gilbert's real estate company, Bedrock, announced Friday it had purchased the historic Book Tower in Detroit. "This project is going to be one of the most exciting redevelopments in our entire Detroit real estate portfolio," Gilbert said. The Book Tower dates back to 1926, designed by Louis Kamper. It was briefly the tallest building in Detroit until the Penobscot Building was built in 1928.
