211 West Fort Street

211 West Fort Street is a modern office tower in downtown Detroit spanning 27 floors and rising about 367 feet. The facade features tinted windows set in precast concrete panels, with a two-story glass lobby marking the main entrance.

The structure was completed in 1963 as headquarters for Detroit Bank and Trust Company, a major local financial institution. That organization relocated to One Detroit Center in 1993, reflecting shifts in the city's banking sector.

The Economic Club of Detroit operates from this building and shapes the appearance of the downtown business core. Its location in the financial hub makes it a reference point for those exploring the city's commercial center.

Parking access is available from Congress Street, making it convenient for drivers navigating the area. The building sits in the heart of the business district and connects easily on foot to other downtown locations.

The building number is displayed prominently on the roofline and can be seen from Windsor, Ontario across the Detroit River. This placement makes it a distinctive landmark for those crossing the international border.
