General Motors and Bedrock have unveiled a bold $1.6 billion proposal to reimagine Detroit's iconic Renaissance Center and 27 surrounding acres along the Detroit riverfront.

The redevelopment includes the demolition of two 39-story towers in the five-skyscraper complex, freeing up valuable riverfront space for redevelopment while preserving the city's skyline.
