Detroit Edison Plaza is a large skyscraper in Detroit, Michigan. It is often referred to as "DTE Energy Building", from a large neon sign on the building's top floor. That is incorrect, however, as there is a nearby building with that name. It was constructed in 1971, and contains 25 floors, reaching a height of 374 feet (114 m). It is built in the International style of architecture. It is composed of steel, with many glass windows. It bears an architectural resemblance to the nearby State of Michigan Plaza. In 2007, DTE announced a major transformation of the area around its downtown headquarters into an urban oasis with parks, walkways, and a reflecting pool adjacent to the MGM Grand Detroit.[1]
