New details were released over the weekend on DTE Energy Co's plans to take a downtown parking lot and turn it into a bustling park along the lines of Campus Martius.

The project was first introduced back in 2013, and while development saw some motion, the space is currently a holding area for dirt and other equipment dedicated to the new Red Wings arena. It's a situation DTE says won't last long as they gear up for an official late summer groundbreaking. - Leslie Youngblood

Mini Campus Martius, what we know so far:

- Roughly 1.3-acres/56,000 square feet of land

- Bordered by Grand River Avenue, First Street and Plaza Dr.

- Will feature food trucks, concerts, a restaurant and open green space

- Will be operated and managed by same entity that manages Campus Martius

- Estimated cost: $5-$10 million

- Completion targeted for Spring 2016

- No official name yet—DTE plans to ask the public for suggestions
