News Summary

Alo Yoga, a leading athletic apparel brand, is set to open its first store at the Hudson’s Detroit mixed-use development on Woodward Avenue, expected in late summer 2025. As part of the $1.4 billion revitalization project, the store will occupy space in the new office block. The Hudson’s development aims to create a vibrant urban hub, featuring retail, office spaces, hotels, and community amenities, enhancing the downtown area’s appeal and fostering growth. Alo Yoga’s presence underscores a commitment to community wellness and lifestyle branding in the rejuvenated Detroit landscape.

Detroit Welcomes Alo Yoga as First Retail Tenant at Hudson’s Development

Detroit is set to welcome Alo Yoga, an upscale workout clothing brand, as the first retail tenant in the Hudson’s Detroit mixed-use development on Woodward Avenue. The store is anticipated to open in late summer 2025, marking a significant step in the revitalization of the area.

The Hudson’s Detroit project, a $1.4 billion initiative, spans a sprawling 1.5 million square feet and aims to transform the historic site where the J.L. Hudson Department Store once operated before its demolition in 1998. Alo Yoga, known for its premium athletic apparel for both men and women, will occupy a space located at 1272 Woodward Ave. within the 12-story office block of the development. This will be the second location for Alo in Michigan, adding to its existing store at the Somerset Collection mall in Troy.

Project Details and Future Plans

The Hudson’s Detroit development is not just about retail; it encompasses plans for office spaces, hotels, and condominiums. One of the highlights will be the new headquarters for General Motors, which is relocating from the Renaissance Center. The project is designed to foster community engagement and commercial growth in the downtown area.

In addition to retail and office spaces, the development features various amenities, including a public plaza, a rooftop lounge, and an ultra-luxury EDITION hotel, which is projected to open in 2027. Recently, Bedrock, the developer behind the project, opened The Department at Hudson’s, a 56,000-square-foot venue that hosts gatherings and events, further enriching the area’s offerings.

Community Impact and Future Growth

Bedrock’s Senior Vice President of Leasing expressed excitement about Alo Yoga’s commitment to wellness, which aligns with Detroit’s ongoing growth and vibrancy. The choice of Alo Yoga as a tenant suggests a focus on lifestyle brands that promote health and well-being in the community.

The announcement of Alo Yoga’s incoming store is part of broader efforts to attract more retail businesses to the Hudson’s project, with more tenant announcements expected in the near future. Since construction began in 2017, the project has evolved, adjusting from its original vision of being the tallest building in Detroit to the current design, which will still be the second tallest at 685 feet.

Historical Context and Revitalization Efforts

The redevelopment of the Hudson’s site symbolizes a significant shift in Detroit’s urban landscape. For years, the area remained vacant after the historic J.L. Hudson Department Store was demolished. The ambitious Hudson’s Detroit project is a critical part of ongoing revitalization efforts to breathe new life into the downtown area, attracting residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

With the arrival of Alo Yoga and various planned amenities, the Hudson’s Detroit development is poised to become a central hub of activity that supports not only retail growth but also community well-being, signaling a vibrant future for Detroit’s economic landscape.
