A new Union Joint is Coming to the new Little Caesars World Headquarters Campus Expansion in The District Detroit

DETROIT, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Union Joints is proud (and pumped) to announce that a Union Joints restaurant will anchor the new Little Caesars world headquarters campus expansion at the corner of Woodward Avenue and Columbia Street in Detroit. The 14,000 square-foot space along Woodward Avenue at the new Columbia Street retail destination will feature a second-floor patio that faces Comerica Park on the second level.

"We've always been drawn to buildings that provided something you just couldn't replicate, and this location—with the Fox and Fillmore as bookends, Comerica Park on its front porch near Little Caesars Arena and Ford Field—is absolutely unimaginable," said Curt Catallo who owns Union Joints with his wife Ann Stevenson and Managing Partner Erich Lines.

Ann Stevenson, Union Joints' designer, has been working with Tamas von Staden of von Staden Architects to execute the vision for the multi-level undertaking. The space also features an interior mezzanine and an alley-access pickup window.

"We're thrilled that this project is our group's first foray into new construction," said Stevenson, adding, "I couldn't imagine a better corner in which to occupy such a clear expanse space full of multi-activations."

"All aspects of The District Detroit are being carefully designed to create a dynamic mix of spaces and activities that provide options for everyone," said Travis Arbogast, Vice President of Development at Olympia Development of Michigan. "Adding Union Joints to this very special location in the new Little Caesars headquarters campus expansion along Columbia Street will provide guests an experience that they cannot get anywhere else."

Financing has been secured by Level One Bank and construction plans have been submitted to the city of Detroit with a goal of opening the latest joint by the end of the year. 

"We've known Chris and members of the Ilitch organization for quite some time and we know how much this new building means to them," adds Catallo. "The Union Joints family is honored to anchor Columbia Street and know that with spots like Frita Batidos, it'll have the kind of bustle that we're all about."

Construction progress continues along Columbia Street and at the Little Caesars world headquarters campus expansion where employees have begun to occupy portions of the building and are taking advantage of its state-of-the-art amenities. For the lowdown on all things Union Joints, please visit  unionjoints.com.
