The Development at Cadillac Square (formerly Monroe Blocks)

Originally projected for completion in 2022, Bedrock’s former Monroe Blocks project has seen delays and has since been scaled down. Original plans called for 814,000 square feet of office space, but a new plan unveiled in February, dubbed The Development at Cadillac Square, now calls for 400,000 square feet. Interestingly, the new design also includes a 2,000-seat concert venue that would reincorporate the ornate facade of the former National Theatre Building, an Albert Kahn-designed vaudeville house and movie theater. In the meantime, Bedrock has used the space to host its “Monroe Street Midway,” an outdoor site that includes public art, a roller rink, and a drive-in movie screen.
