The stadium’s steel structure, nearly a hundred years old, required careful assessment and restoration. “We had to sandblast and clear the original steel, reinforce the structure, and make it safe for modern use,” explains Chaudhary Y. “It was awarded during COVID, so we had to navigate supply chain and labor challenges on top of everything else.” The result is a triumph of engineering and community spirit, a once-abandoned landmark reborn as a gathering space for Detroit’s residents. company’s success. “These are all Metro-Detroitbased firms that have grown alongside us,” adds Chaudhary Y. “We share training and workshops to reduce costs and improve efficiency. It is about growing together.” DESIGNING WITH PURPOSE While DMC Group typically outsources architectural design to trusted partners, its in-house team remains deeply involved to ensure every project aligns with the neighborhood’s identity. “We hire design firms,” explains Chaudhary M., “but we are very closely involved in ensuring sustainable designs that complement the block or city where the project is located.” This philosophy ensures that every DMC development, whether new construction or renovation, enhances the surrounding community rather than disrupting it.
