A major upcoming mixed-use development in downtown Detroit has secured its first official retail tenant, Alo Yoga.
The brand is the first retailer to sign on to the Hudson’s Detroit project, a two-building, $1.4bn development from real estate firm Bedrock. According to the Detroit Free Press, the store will be located in the 12-storey “office block” building, which will become home to the new General Motors headquarters later this year.
The other Hudson’s building, a 49-storey skyscraper, is set to feature condos and a luxury hotel when it opens in 2027. Hudson’s Detroit broke ground in 2017 at the former site of the historic J.L. Hudson department store, which was demolished in 1998.
Alo, known for its high-end athletic and athleisurewear and accessories, is expected to open its downtown location this summer. Its only other Michigan location is at Somerset Collection Mall in Troy.
“Detroit is brimming with purpose and Alo’s dedication to wellness and community complements the city’s vibrancy and growth,” said Naumann Idrees, Bedrock’s Senior VP of Leasing in a statement on LinkedIn. “As the inaugural retail tenant at Hudson’s Detroit, we welcome Alo and embrace this as a significant moment for the city.”
