Rule Changes Detroit, MI localCity records now list 1515 Broadway Events as licensed to open at the historic performance space.
Overview
Detroit Health Department records now list 1515 Broadway Events at 1515 Broadway as licensed to open. The entry first appeared on the city's public list on October 16, 2026; an earlier record showed the business in food establishment plan review.
A license record is one approval; it does not show every approval the business needs or whether it has opened. The building is a longtime black box theater and music venue tied to Detroit's techno scene.
Why it matters
If approved, a food service at this historic venue could reshape its role in downtown Detroit, but the outcome is uncertain.

Plan review withdrawn or expires without license
Discussed by: No analyst commentary.
The applicant may withdraw the plan review, fail to meet requirements, or let the review lapse. In that case, the record would disappear from the city's list without a license being granted.
