Renaissance Center (also known as the GM Renaissance Center and nicknamed the RenCen) is a group of seven interconnected skyscrapers in Downtown Detroit Michigan United States. Located on the International Riverfront the Renaissance Center complex is owned by General Motors as its world headquarters. The central tower the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center is the tallest all-hotel skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere and features the largest rooftop restaurant Coach Insignia.7 It has been the tallest building in Michigan since its erection in 1977.

John Portman was the principal architect for the original design. The first phase constructed a five tower rosette rising from a common base. Four 39-story office towers surround the 73-story hotel rising from a square-shaped podium which includes a shopping center restaurants brokerage firms banks a four-screen movie theatre private clubs.89 The first phase officially opened in March 1977. Portman's design renewed attention to city architecture9 constructing the world's tallest hotel at the time.7 Two additional 21-story office towers (known as Tower 500 and Tower 600) opened in 1981. This type of complex has been termed a city within a city.

In 2004 General Motors completed a US$500 million renovation of the class-A center as its world headquarters which it had purchased in 1996.10 The renovation included the addition of the five-story Wintergarden atrium which provides access to the International Riverfront.11 Architects for the renovation included Skidmore Owings & Merrill Gensler SmithGroup and Ghafari Associates. Work continued in and around the complex until 2005. Renaissance Center totals 5552000 square feet (515800 m2) making it one of the world's largest office complexes.512 Contents 1 History 2 Location 3 In popular culture 4 Architecture 4.1 Redevelopment 4.2 Technical details 5 Notable Tenants 6 See also 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links History

Conceived by Henry Ford II and financed primarily by the Ford Motor Company the Renaissance Center became the world's largest private development with an anticipated 1971 cost of $500 million.13 The project was intended to revitalize the economy of Detroit.1314 In its first year of operation it generated over $1 billion in economic growth for the downtown.8

In 1970 Ford Motor Company Chairman Henry Ford II teamed up with other business leaders to form Detroit Renaissance a private non-profit development organization which he headed in order to stimulate building activity in the city. The group announced the first phase of construction in 1971. In addition Detroit Renaissance contributed to a variety of other projects within the downtown area in the ensuing decades. Henry Ford II sold the concept of the RenCen to the City and community leaders. Detroit Mayor Roman Gribbs touted the project as a complete rebuilding from bridge to bridge referring to the area between the Ambassador Bridge that connects Detroit to Windsor Ontario and the MacArthur Bridge which connects the city with Belle Isle Park.13 The world headquarters of General Motors.

The city within a city arose. The first tower of the Renaissance Center opened on July 1 1976. Principal architect John Portman was also the architect for the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel and the Peachtree Center in Atlanta Georgia; the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco California; and the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles California. For phase I the facade of the first five towers was covered with 2000000 square feet (186000 m2) of glass and used about 400000 cubic yards (310000 m3) of concrete.13 This did not include the additional glass used for the atriums.8

Phase I of the Renaissance Center cost $337 million to construct employing 7000 workers.13 In 1977 the central hotel tower of the Renaissance Center which opened as the Western International Detroit Plaza Hotel13 became the world's tallest all-hotel skyscraper7 surpassing its architectural twin the Peachtree Plaza Hotel in Atlanta (Western International Hotels became Westin in 1980). In 1986 what is today known as the Swisstel The Stamford in Singapore surpassed it. Since 1986 the Renaissance Center's central tower has held the distinction as the tallest all-hotel skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere.715

On April 15 1977 Henry Ford II and Detroit mayor Coleman Young unveiled a plaque commemorating the private investors whose funds made the project possible and later that evening 650 business and society leaders attended a benefit celebrating the Renaissance Center's formal dedication. The money raised from the $300-per-couple tickets went to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. When it opened the cylindrical central tower was originally the flagship of the Westin Hotels. The top three floors of the hotel hosted an upscale restaurant The Summit that rotated to allow a 360 degree view.8 The shopping center in the podium originally housed boutiques but now contains a greater complement of restaurants in the retail mix.13 GM World exhibit inside the Renaissance Center.

In 1980 Detroit hosted the Republican National Convention and presidential nominee Ronald Reagan and former President Gerald Ford both stayed at the Renaissance Center while in attendance.1617 Metro Detroit expanded upon the city within a city concept with the nearby 2200000 square feet (204000 m2) Southfield Town Center office complex with its five inter-connected golden skyscrapers constructed from 1975 to 1989. In the ensuing years the Renaissance Center would face competition from the growing suburban office market.8 In 1987 the elevated Detroit People Mover transit line after many years of construction began operation with a stop at the Renaissance Center. At first the Ford Motor Company had occupied many offices in the building. In 1996 General Motors purchased the complex and moved its world headquarters to the Renaissance Center downtown from what is now the historic Cadillac Place state office complex in the New Center district northwest of downtown.18 Architects' initial design for the Renaissance Center focused on creating secure interior spaces while its design later expanded and improved to connect with the exterior spaces and waterfront through a reconfigured interior open glass entryways and a Wintergarden.919 By 2004 GM completed an extensive $500 million renovation of the Renaissance Center.10 This included a $100 million makeover for the hotel. Among GM's first actions was to remove the concrete berms facing Jefferson Avenue. The renovation includes a lighted glass walkway which encircles the interior mezzanine for ease of navigation while the addition of the Wintergarden provides riverfront access and a view of Canada. A covered skyway over Jefferson Avenue connects to the Millender Center Courtyard by Marriott - Downtown Detroit and Coleman A. Young Municipal Center.10 The Renaissance Center is owned by General Motors. The hotel in the central tower is now managed by the Marriott hotel chain and is called the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center. The 1298 room hotel is one of the largest operated by Marriott. The rooftop restaurant (which no longer rotates) received a $10 million renovation and is operated by the Matt Prentice Restaurant Group's Coach Insignia. It serves Coach wines a product of the Fisher family whose legacy includes Fisher Body a name which is part of GM history.20 The Renaissance Center's renovation provides for the prospect of continued development and restorations throughout the city. Architectural critics have touted the city's architecture as among America's finest.921 In July 2010 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan announced plans to lease 435245 square feet (40435.6 m2) of Tower 500 and Tower 600 and relocate 3000 of its employees from its building in Southfield Michigan.

The Renaissance Center's modernist architecture balances the city's panoramic waterfront skyline a frequent feature in photography taken from the Canadian city of Windsor Ontario.14 From the top of the Renaissance Center's Coach Insignia restaurant patrons peer down upon the neogothic spires of One Detroit Center and city's Financial District skyscrapers and stadiums. The view from the top extends for 30 miles (48 km) in all directions. A pedestrian walkway over Jefferson Avenue connects the complex to the Millender Center and leads beyond to the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center. Hart Plaza Cobo Center (home to the North American International Auto Show) and Joe Louis Arena home of the Detroit Red Wings are several blocks to the west. Comerica Park and Ford Field venues for the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Lions respectively are approximately one-mile north. The US portal of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel emerges adjacent to the western boundary of the Renaissance Center. Renaissance Center is a station on the Detroit People Mover.14 In popular culture International Riverfront and Rivard Plaza Merry-Go-Round. In the 1989 film Collision Course starring Jay Leno and Pat Morita the Renaissance Center was featured when Morita's character and Leno meet for the first time in which Morita is considered a suspect and chased through the beautiful hotel. In the 1990 film adaptation of Presumed Innocent there is a skyline view of Detroit very early in the film which clearly shows the Renaissance Center filmed from across the river in Windsor Ontario. In the 1998 Steven Soderbergh film adaptation of Out of Sight the main characters meet in the revolving restaurant atop the Renaissance Center. The scene was filmed on location.24 The 1999 film Detroit Rock City has views of the Renaissance Center which would have been newly constructed during the film's 1978 setting. In 2004 the Renaissance Center was featured in the Kevin Costner and Joan Allen film The Upside of Anger. Costner's character plays a DJ for WRIF 101 FM a real Detroit FM rock station whose studio (in the film) is housed in the Renaissance Center. The Renaissance Center is also featured in the films Grosse Pointe Blank and Action Jackson. For the 2005 Major League Baseball All-Star Game which was played at Comerica Park in Detroit the center tower of the Renaissance Center was wrapped with an image of a large baseball smashing into the tower with "4612 FT" written below it to indicate the distance from home plate at Comerica Park (see photograph above). For Super Bowl XL held at Detroit's Ford Field on February 5 2006 a large National Football League logo was wrapped around the main tower just beneath the GM logo. The Renaissance Center also hosted the major media for Super Bowl XL. GM offered the Wintergarden a venue for the annual Fash Bash a fashion event and fundraiser coordinated by the Detroit Institute of Arts.25 Kid Rock's 2008 music video for "Roll On" featured the Renaissance Center along with several other well-known structures in Detroit. The History Channel's Life After People: The Series "Roads to Nowhere" episode featured the Renaissance Center. Renaissance Center replicas have become souvenir items along with other Detroit skyscrapers.26 In 2010 the center was featured on the cover of Eminem's seventh studio album Recovery (Eminem album) The Renaissance Center along with other Detroit landmarks appears frequently in the 2010 television drama Detroit 1-8-7. Architecture The centerpiece is the 1298-room luxury hotel 73-story 727-foot (221.5 m). Its height is measured from its main Wintergarden entrance on Atwater Street which faces the International Riverfront where the complex measures 14 feet (4.27 m) taller.

Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill it rises 103 feet (31.39 m) tall at its highest point opening direct access to the International Riverfront. In addition the five-story Wintergarden atrium area added in 2001 has 150000 square feet (14000 m2) devoted to retail with 40000 square feet (3700 m2) of contiguous main floor exhibit space which was used by the media during Super Bowl XL.12 Redevelopment GM Plaza and Promenade at the Renaissance Center along the International Riverfront. The redevelopment project included the work of many different architects including Skidmore Owings & Merrill of Chicago SmithGroup of Detroit Gensler Detroit office and Ghafari Associates of Dearborn who did the renovation of the office towers. The majority of the construction operations were led by Turner Construction Company. The structural glass and steel for the Wintergarden the entrance lobby as well as the mezzanine glass walkway were contributed by Mero. The cost of the renovation does not include the cost for reconfiguring the streets around the Renaissance Center or the cost of the park along the International Riverfront. The $500 million renovation of the Renaissance Center completed in 2003 has helped improve Detroit's economy.10 Together GM's renovation of the Renaissance Center and the Detroit Riverwalk exceeded $1 billion; the project constituted a substantial investment in downtown. More than 10000 people (of which 6000 are GM employees) work in the complex.27 Nearly 2000 state workers now occupy GM's former office building the restored Cadillac Place in the historic New Center district.18 Renaissance Center in the distance on Belle Isle Park. The Wintergarden added to the Renaissance Center faces the Riverfront and provides panoramic views of the Windsor skyline.

A pedestrian-friendly glass entryway has replaced the former concrete berms along Jefferson Avenue. The redevelopment provides the GM World display of vehicles a restored hotel a renovated rooftop restaurant and the addition of GM's corporate logo to crown the top of the building. Construction of the lighted glass walkway facilitates ease of navigation encircling the interior mezzanine. Hines completed redevelopment of Towers 500 and 600 for GM in 2004.122829 The Riverfront Promenade was dedicated on December 17 2004 and helped to usher in a return to recreational uses along Detroit's International Riverfront. GM played a key role in the transformation of the east riverfront with a donation of $135 million to the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy for the development of a world class riverfront promenade planned at $559 million which included $50 million from the Kresge foundation.30 With the addition of several prominent restaurants and retailers to the complex such as JoS. A. Bank Clothiers Seldom Blues and a first-run movie theatre the RenCen has started to redefine Detroit once again for a new generation. In 2009 the Detroit Wayne County Port Authority opened its new state of the art cruise ship dock and passenger terminal on Hart Plaza adjacent to the Renaissance Center.31 Port authority bonds financed another 1500 space parking garage adjacent to the Renaissance Center. The Omni Hotel at Riverplace faces the Riverfront as part of a restored historic area.
