In Season 4, Episode 3 of the Building Michigan podcast, we dive deep into the monumental restoration of Michigan Central Station, the recipient of the 2024 CAM Project of the Year Award. Once a stark symbol of Detroit's industrial decline, this iconic landmark has been meticulously brought back to life and now stands as the vibrant heart of Corktown’s new Innovation District. Hosted by CAM President Kevin Koehler, this episode features:
  • Larry Brinker Jr., CEO of The Brinker Group, a leader in Detroit's construction industry who brings a wealth of experience in revitalizing the city and mentoring future leaders.
  • Ron Staley, founder of Christman's Historic Preservation Group, a national expert in historic preservation with over 40 years of experience.
  • Austin Giesey, Senior Project Manager from The Christman Company, who has a background in engineering and played a crucial role in coordinating the renovation.
Their collective expertise and dedication helped transform the dilapidated train station into a beacon of Detroit's renaissance. If you enjoy this episode, you can purchase the book Ruin to Revival: Restoring Michigan Central Station: The Builders Journey, authored by Ron, Austin, and Rob Yallop, documenting each step of the Rehabilitation.
