The Ilitch family has missed another deadline as part of its District Detroit project.

The Detroit Economic Growth Corp., the taxpayer-funded quasi-governmental city development agency, on Monday confirmed that Olympia Development of Michigan has not yet filed a development plan for the northwest corner of Woodward Avenue and I-75 as required.

"There is no plan before the (Downtown Development Authority) for the development of this parcel but we are currently in ongoing discussions with (the) developer to identify next steps," Charlotte Fisher, spokeswoman for the DEGC, said in an email. She did not answer questions about any penalties Olympia, the Ilitch family's real estate company, will face for missing the extended June 28 deadline that was approved last year.

The DEGC on Friday and earlier Monday had not answered whether Olympia had submitted a plan.

Olympia Development would only provide the following statement: "We continue to be in discussions with the city on this matter."

Officials with Olympia have in recent years envisioned the site as future hotel space but today it sits vacant, fenced in and adorned with a "District Detroit" scrim.

Five years ago, the Ilitch family unveiled its plans for 45 to 50 blocks of new development north of downtown anchored by Little Caesars Arena. But instead of a bustling retail, entertainment, residential and office district that was promised to be completed within three years, it remains largely barren, strewn with surface parking lots and empty buildings, much of which is owned by the Ilitch family through subsidiaries.

Although the $862.9 million arena and parking decks are complete, as is some office space and the Wayne State University Mike Ilitch School of Business, there has been growing criticism about lack of progress on the overall district vision.

There is no new residential or hotel space, and the arena has received $398.1 million in taxpayer subsidies.

On June 27, 2018, the DDA board unanimously approved giving Olympia a one-year extension to June 28, 2019.

Meeting minutes say that the property "had largely been used for construction laydown during the construction of the LCA."

"ODM continues to explore a use (of) that block that complements and serves (as) an appropriate entrance to the LCA and surrounding developments," the minutes say.

In May, Christopher Ilitch, president and CEO of Olympia parent company Ilitch Holdings Inc., said in an interview with Crain's that the company's residential development "timelines proved to be aggressive," addressing some of the criticism about lack of apartments or other residential space built.

In September 2018, Olympia missed a deadline to have the Hotel Eddystone redeveloped and occupied. In recent weeks, a new agreement between Olympia and the city was approved, giving the company a series of new deadlines to meet for its planned $40.9 million conversion of the building into 96 apartments north of the new arena.

Plastic sheeting has been installed, covering its window holes.
