General Motors Co. and Dan Gilbert's Bedrock LLC are planning to tear down two of the automaker's five Renaissance Center towers as part of a reimagining of the long-struggling complex the automaker is vacating next year in a major realignment of the city’s business and commercial real estate landscape.

Dan Gilbert's real estate company envisions a rightsizing of Detroit's skyline icon for a new era of downtown living.

The iconic but outdated Renaissance Center could someday be completely redeveloped with two of its five towers demolished, if a new, shared vision from Dan Gilbert's Bedrock and the property's owner,

The plan would reduce office space and redevelop the remaining three towers into hospitality and housing - leaving most of the skyline intact, while adding a large public space on the riverfront.
