Season 9, Episode 1:
Can Detroit become America’s greatest urban comeback story?
To kick off Season 9 of No Cap, we sit down with Jared Fleisher, CEO of Bedrock, to break down the future of Detroit, Cleveland, and large-scale city building. Jared shares how Bedrock, founded by Dan Gilbert, has invested billions across 140+ properties and 21M+ SF while helping reshape Detroit’s urban core.
Whether you’re interested in public-private partnerships, downtown revitalization, GM’s move to Hudson’s Detroit, or the future of the Renaissance Center, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we dive into conviction, civic commitment, riverfront development, and what it really takes to rebuild a city at scale.
Shoutout to our sponsor, WareSpace — turning underused industrial, flex, office, and big-box properties into micro warehouse space for small businesses.
