Developers of a Corktown housing complex are offering employees of an adjacent concert venue $15,000 after a construction team destroyed part of the the building on Wednesday.

The UFO Factory on 2110 Trumbull Ave. suffered serious structural damage last week as Soave Real Estate Group's construction crews worked on Elton Park, a new mixed-use development project at the former Checker Cab building.

Supporters created a GoFundMe campaign shortly after to raise $15,000 for employees who have been left out of work. The campaign raised more than $20,000.

And Soave pledged to add $15,000 to the fund Monday.

"As we work to develop a solution to the accidental damage to the UFO Factory, we are pleased to show our support for the UFO Factory and its employees by donating $15,000 to the Go Fund Me campaign," according to a statement from Soave and The Monahan Company, the construction team.

"Our intention in developing Elton Park is to help bolster the Corktown community, and we hope this donation reflects that goal. We are committed to getting the UFO Factory and Elton Park back on track for Corktown and Detroit."

Bar owner Dion Fischer said last week that shows are booked at UFO Factory through November, and that it was too soon to determine whether they can go on.

The UFO Factory is a 6-year-old social club with a bar and restaurant that opened daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

A fundraising event at another in Southwest Detroit venue, El Club, attracted a crowd of donors Monday night. Organizers said 100 percent of sales on food and drink Monday night would go toward UFO Factory.
