The 11‐story Capitol Park Building, built in 1912 by Leonard B. Willeke, blends Chicago School architecture with Beaux‐Arts decorative designs. It was originally home to a butcher, grocer, and a variety of tenants throughout the years, including the White Room Studios where musicians Aretha Franklin, Kid Rock, and Bob Seger recorded their hits. As Detroit experienced an economic downturn, tenants left the building and the structure became increasingly vacant. By 2009, the last business, a liquor store on the first floor, was gone and the building was sealed up and abandoned.
In 2016, the building was purchased by Grand Rapids, MI, developer Richard Karp and work crews began renovating the structure into the Capitol Park Lofts, a 63‐unit residential complex. The project includes the Prime + Proper restaurant on the ground floor and lower level, and a floor of office spaces above. The surrounding Capitol Park neighborhood is being slowly revived with similar developments, including apartments, restaurants, and a hotel.
