Photo by CoStar Group Inc. The former WJBK-TV Studio Building at 7441 Second Ave. in the New Center area was designed by John Volk. He also designed properties for some of the most influential families of the 20th century.
The building, constructed in 1956 at 7441 Second Ave. at Bethune Street, is two stories and about 41,000 square feet, according to CoStar Group Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based real estate information service.
Halcor Group, a real estate company headquartered in Calgary and with an office in Torrance, Calif., presented Wednesday night to a city board concepts that include an addition to and conversion of the building. As presented, it would include up to seven stories of residential space built to the west behind it.
The Detroit Historic District Commission took no action on the possible project Wednesday night, said Richard Hosey III, a board member.
