Office open house, transit-oriented design events scheduled for July 23

July 23 has a busy agenda, with two events happening designed to appeal to those with an urbanist bent.

Detroit Office Inc. was formed to entice companies to consider a downtown location. To that end, the organization will feature 211 W. Fort as its first "Showcase Property" from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Expect wine and cheese, live jazz, office suite tours and a walking tour of the Central Business District.

The Event will be the first in series that will highlight various downtown office properties. Learn more about Detroit Office Inc.'s goals here and the latest tenant news at 211 here.

That very same Wednesday, in concert with the "Considering Architecture: Sustainable Designs from Detroit" exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, the Urban Land Institute will present a morning discussion of transit-oriented design -- a focus on how mass transit investment can stimulate development.

The event begins at 7:45 a.m. with networking. Speakers will include James Renne of Rossetti Architects, who will discuss their TOD project in Denver, one of the designs featured in the exhibit, and Barry Murray from the City of Dearborn, who will discuss Dearborn's Amtrak project, one of the first TOD plans being implemented locally.

Additional speakers and a tour of the exhibit are included in the program; read more about the exhibit itself here .

The event is free and open to the public. To register, call 800-321-5011 and mention meeting code 8143-0916.
