Living in GCP I notice little changes going on. The other day I was walking by the David Whitney Building [1]at 1553 Woodward at the corner of Park and there was movement afoot. Four or five construction trucks were parked outside and, after doing a little investigation, I discovered that they are turning on the juice. They were electricians working on turning the lights on. I was told that the owner, Charles Becker of Omnipoint Communications/Becker Ventures was in town this week from Florida and is seeking partners to renovate this magnificent building into residential/commercial space. There are fifteen different buildings in Grand Circus Park and, except for the Kales [2], the Whitney is my favorite one. Haven’t seen anything in the media yet but I hope this is true. It would be a huge step forward in the revitalization of the D’.
