Demolition on abandoned Detroit apartment begins Tuesday
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Demolition on a long-vacant apartment building that overlooks Nardin Park near I-94 in Detroit is expected to begin Tuesday.
A $990,368 contract was awarded to tear down the four-story building, which is located at 5260 W. Chicago.
The city said the building is one of several commercial structures slated for demolition this December. A segment of the Packard Plant and the former La Choy Headquarters along the Joe Louis Greenway path will also be torn down this month.
