Building foundations now and for the future.
Dedicated to the future of Detroit and Cleveland.
We see cities as more than just physical structures. They represent endless opportunities. At Bedrock, we turn “what if” into “what’s next,” transforming imaginative ideas into iconic destinations and memorable venues. Our mission is to honor tradition, ignite urban pride and unite communities, all driven by the conviction that our cities have the power to inspire the globe.
Our StoryWe believe in the power of place.
No one is born knowing the impact of place. But we are all influenced by it. Streets, buildings, neighborhoods—they shape our experiences, connecting us to each other and our community.
Our Portfolio
Committed to the communities we call home.
We build to enhance the rhythm of our cities and the rhyme of our culture. We construct new spaces that positively impact today and endure tomorrow.
Our Values
The tenants turning spaces into destinations.
Our retail tenants do more than occupy space. They serve as anchors that activate street corners, draw people in and help create the energy that fuels local life. We drive this impact by curating a dynamic tenant mix, crafting tailored spaces and building lasting partnerships. By strategically placing tenants and actively supporting their growth, we transform properties into sought after destinations.
