History
The 34-story Broderick Tower, constructed in 1928 as the Eaton Tower under the direction Louis and Paul Kamper of Detroit, was completed in 1928. It was, at the time, the second tallest skyscraper in Michigan.
The Building was acquired in 1945 by David Broderick, who renamed the building and managed it until his death in 1957. The building sold numerous times over the next 20 years before being purchased by the Higgins Family in 1976.The building lost most of its tenants in the mid 80’s collapse of the Detroit office market and has stood almost empty since.
Ownership has recently transferred to Motown Construction Inc. as part of a plan to re-develop the building.
