The United Artists Theatre Building is a
marquee that remained until 2005. The building once shared a lot with the now demolished Hotel Tuller
.
In preparation for the 2006 NFL Super Bowl, graffiti was removed from all the windows of the building, and the lower levels received a coat of black paint to hide the graffiti work at the base of the building. The old theater marquee was also removed.
In 2006,
Ilitch Holdings announced it would market the building. The company has a history of buying historic properties, voicing an intent to redevelop them, and later turning them into parking lots following increased decay.[3][4][5]
As of 2023, the historic theatre is being restored and renovated into a large residential apartment building. [6]
