This striking building, designed by renowned architects John Burgee and Philip Johnson, is undoubtedly Detroit’s greatest example of postmodernism. Opened in 1993, the building’s most notable features are its four Neo-gothic spires pointing to the sky. At 43 stories, it’s also one of the tallest buildings in the state.

When the building was bought by Bedrock Detroit in 2015, Ally Financial became its primary tenant. It was subsequently renamed Ally Detroit Center.

This 25-story, 500,000-square-foot downtown skyscraper designed by Heller Manus Architects opened in 1989. Sitting on the site of the old Detroit Stock Exchange Building, details from that building are still on display in the new one, such as original door panels and a carved relief of a wrestling bull and bear.

This eight-story parking garage across the street from the Renaissance Center was designed by Neumann Smith. The curved Jefferson-facing facade has punched windows which, according to the architect, “expresses the internal vehicular circulation.” Two glass elevator shafts in the front and back enhance the visual appeal of this unassuming building.

Amazingly, this parking deck won an Honor Award from AIA Michigan.

This New Center gym that’s part of the Henry Ford Health System is more notable for its interior than exterior. There, you’ll find an array of bold color choices and quirky design features.

Sitting in a 93-acre park in southwest Detroit, this recreation center is named for General George S. Patton. With its bold forms and colors, it definitely looks postmodern, though it was first dedicated in the early 1950s before the postmodernist movement was popularized. It’s gotten several major renovations since.

To be honest, we don’t know a ton about the design and history of this building. If you’ve got info let us know and we’ll update this entry.
