Detroit celebrated its 325th birthday this summer, and its story is written in the buildings that have stood the test of time. Preserving those historic structures requires more than renovation. It takes stewardship, expertise and a deep respect for the craftsmanship and character that make them unique.

At Rockford, historic preservation is one of our specialties. From navigating historic tax credits and brownfield incentives to meeting complex preservation requirements, we've spent decades restoring and reimagining landmark properties in Detroit and across Michigan while preparing them for the future.

Historic buildings tell the story of a city. We're proud to help preserve those stories, ensuring they continue to serve communities for generations to come.

See some of our key preservation projects in the City of Detroit below.

Heading back to Ferris State University for his senior year in just a few weeks, Patrick Jones reflects on another summer of growth with Rockford. Assigned to the Meijer Kentwood project, Patrick chose to return because of Rockford's well-structured internship program and the opportunities it provides to learn from experienced professionals.

Throughout his time onsite, Patrick gained firsthand experience that brought classroom concepts to life and deepened his understanding of the construction industry. By working alongside experienced team members, Patrick continued to build his skills, expand his industry knowledge and develop the confidence needed as he prepares for this school year and the next step in his construction career.

Back for a second-year internship, Carlos Soto-Castillo is excited to gain a new perspective by working on a different project while continuing to expand his knowledge of construction and strengthen his communication skills with contractors in the field. This year, he is onsite at Northview Public Schools' East Oakview Elementary School project, where he is gaining valuable hands-on experience.

A student at Grand Rapids Community College, Carlos returned to Rockford after his internship last summer helped him connect classroom concepts to real-world construction projects. This summer, he is building on that experience by taking on new responsibilities, broadening his field experience and continuing to develop skills for a future career in the construction industry.
