History
Detroit's history of skyscrapers began in 1889, with completion of the historic 10-story Hammond Building—considered the city's first steel-framed skyscraper. Downtown Detroit has been undergoing revitalization in the 21st century, bringing with it many significant restoration projects, such as that of the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel. Hudson's Detroit, the city's second tallest building, was completed in 2025. General Motors moved headquarters from the RenCen to Hudson's Detroit in 2026, == Cityscape ==
