1201 / 1217 Woodward

Located at the corner of State Street and Woodward Avenue, the former S.S. Kresge Store #1 and R.H. Travers Co. buildings formed a landmark corner when they were built in 1917 and 1889, respectively. Combined under a single property owner since 1917 and open between the two buildings on the basement through 2nd floors, the buildings have housed a variety of retail, most notably the flagship Kresge 5&10 store. To commemorate the building’s days as a notable 5&10 store, a custom designed 5&10 light fixture was installed in the new office entrance lobby. The 3rd – 9th floors of 1201 Woodward are occupied by office tenants, the basement through 2nd floor of both buildings and the 3rd – 5th floors of 1217 Woodward remain vacant, ready for future retail and office tenants.
