One of Detroit’s most beautiful historic landmarks, the David Whitney Building has been part of the city’s story since it opened in 1915. Built by David Whitney Jr., the building was designed in the Italian Renaissance style and is known for its ornate stonework, soaring arches, marble details, and richly decorated interiors.
The building is also directly connected to the Detroit People Mover’s Grand Circus Park station, which opened in 1987 as part of the city’s elevated downtown transit system. The station places visitors steps from the David Whitney Building and connects this historic landmark to the rest of Downtown Detroit.
Today, the David Whitney Building offers a unique blend of historic elegance and modern convenience, featuring beautifully restored spaces, upscale residences, stylish dining, and a prime downtown location. Whether you’re looking to live, stay, dine, or experience Detroit’s architectural heritage, the David Whitney Building invites you to make history part of your everyday experience.
