Alo retail store set to open at Hudson's Tower, enhancing Detroit's retail landscape.
Alo, the popular athletic apparel brand, is set to open its first retail location in Detroit as part of the Hudson’s Tower development. Scheduled for late summer 2025, this opening heralds a new chapter for the historic site, which aims to revitalize the downtown area. Alo’s focus on wellness and community fits the vision for the tower, which also includes luxury accommodations and event spaces. This development marks a significant investment in the city’s future, showcasing Detroit’s growth and appeal.
Alo, a prominent athletic apparel brand known for its stylish and high-quality sportswear, will make its debut in Detroit as the first retail tenant at the Hudson’s Detroit tower. The store is slated to open at 1272 Woodward Avenue by late summer 2025. This opening marks a significant milestone in the revitalization of the Hudson’s site, which has a rich history and is poised to enhance Detroit’s retail landscape.
The arrival of Alo is a vital step in a broader retail initiative at the Hudson’s Detroit development, signaling renewed investment in the area. Bedrock’s Senior Vice President of Leasing noted that Alo’s emphasis on wellness and community mirrors the ongoing vibrancy and growth in Detroit. The brand’s focus aligns perfectly with the aspirations to create a community-oriented space within the development.
The Hudson’s Detroit tower stands as a symbol of Detroit’s resurgence. At 681 feet tall, it is the second tallest building in Michigan, following the Renaissance Center, which reaches 727 feet. This ambitious development encompasses approximately 1.5 million square feet of space, which will host a mix of retail, office, dining, hospitality, residential, and event venues.
Among the highlights of the Hudson’s Detroit project is The Department at Hudson’s, a 56,000 square-foot event venue that has recently opened. This versatile space is designed to accommodate gatherings, meetings, and special occasions, reinforcing the development’s purpose as a hub for community engagement.
As part of the development’s offerings, the Hudson’s Detroit tower will introduce downtown Detroit’s first 5-star hotel, known as The Detroit Edition. This hotel will feature over 200 luxurious rooms to cater to visitors seeking premium accommodations in the city. Additionally, the upper floors of the tower will provide approximately 100 residential units in The Residences at The Detroit Edition, further contributing to a mixed-use environment.
The Hudson’s site has a storied past, originally housing the J.L. Hudson Department Store. This iconic department store opened its doors in 1911 and served as a staple of Detroit’s retail scene until it was demolished in 1998. The current development project represents a transformative effort to breathe new life into a historically significant site, marking the largest ground-up development in Detroit over the past 50 years.
Alo’s expected opening in 2025 is just the first of several retail announcements anticipated for the Hudson’s Detroit development, illustrating the growing interest in the area and the commitment to revitalizing downtown Detroit.
