Marous Brothers Construction served as Construction Manager for the $112 million restoration of the iconic 32-story Book Cadillac building in downtown Detroit. Partnering with the developer, architect, consultants, and our minority partner, our team brought creativity and cost discipline to the forefront, delivering the project on an aggressive 24-month schedule. Through weekly design meetings and extensive value engineering, we identified efficient construction solutions while self-performing significant portions of the work through our Carpentry and Interior Finishes Group. The result is a vibrant mixed-use high-rise featuring 455 hotel rooms, 67 luxury condominiums, restaurants, a fitness center, and world-class amenities—all seamlessly integrated within a historically preserved structure. Completed in 2008, The Westin Book Cadillac earned AON’s Build America Award and stands as a model of successful urban revitalization and adaptive reuse.
