A building in greater downtown best known for the colorful mural on its west side is under contract to Peter Cummings’ and Dietrich Knoer’s Detroit-based The Platform LLC development group, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

The Platform declined to comment on its plans for the building, which is at East Grand Boulevard and Beaubien Street in the Milwaukee Junction neighborhood.
The 73,000-square-foot building’s current owner, Bloomfield Township-based Princeton Enterprises LLC, is being sued by artist Katherine Craig to protect her 2009 “The Illuminated Mural” under the federal Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990.
It’s not known what implications that lawsuit, which is still in federal court, will have on the pending sale.
