The Project

A new $100M, 129-room boutique hotel in Downtown Detroit. The eight-floor hotel, operated by Mac&Lo Hospitality Management & Consulting, combines the restored buildings of the T.B. Rayl & Co. department store and a former Singer sewing-machine store with three new buildings. The second floor offers space for up to four events and includes a ballroom and the Birdy, a glass-enclosed garden conservatory with a terrace.

“The best type of expansion joint is one that people don't even see, or don't realize is there. And in my opinion … we did a really good job making that transition from building to building as seamless as possible.” Amanda Kight
