The Detroit News recently reported on a North Corktown re-development rumored to be backed by Pharrell Williams. New York City based, Alexander Gorlin Architects have been commissioned by a private, undisclosed, Philanthropist. Architectural Digest checked-in with the AD100 2016 architect who shared his "Current Collaboration: Current Collaboration: Teaming with musician Pharrell Williams on prefab housing in Detroit."
Connecting the dots, it's obvious that Gorlin Architects are working on something with Pharrell in Detroit and it just may be a North Corktown redevelopment.
