Welcome to Little Caesars Arena, a beacon of Detroit’s resurgence and innovation. This state-of-the-art sports and entertainment venue is the centerpiece of the District Detroit redevelopment, representing a $862.9 million investment in the city’s future. White Construction, in collaboration with Barton Malow and Hunt Construction, helped bring this 785,000-square-foot arena to life. From its unique “deconstructed” design blending into the cityscape to the innovative roof structure enhancing acoustics and energy efficiency, every detail reflects Detroit’s heritage and vision for the future. Employing Lean construction practices and modular prefabrication, we ensured this iconic venue was delivered on time and with unparalleled quality, cementing it as the heart of Detroit’s sports and entertainment scene.
Ford Field and Comerica Park are synonymous with Detroit’s passion for sports. As two of Michigan’s most beloved venues, they required upgrades that balanced functionality with preserving their iconic status. White Construction was proud to partner on projects that enhanced fan experiences, upgraded facilities, and maintained the venues’ reputations as world-class destinations. From structural reinforcements to modern amenities, these enhancements ensure both venues remain at the forefront of the sports and entertainment industry.
At Providence Hospital in Novi, White Construction was tasked with improving a healthcare facility that serves thousands of patients annually. This project demanded a focus on functionality, compassion, and efficiency, as healthcare construction is about more than just bricks and mortar—it’s about creating spaces that promote healing and hope. Our team delivered critical updates, ensuring the hospital could continue to provide top-tier care while enhancing the experience for patients and their families. This project is a testament to our commitment to community-focused construction.
The DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital addition represents our dedication to improving healthcare access in Detroit. This expansion project allowed the hospital to accommodate growing community needs with modern, purpose-built spaces that enhance both patient care and staff efficiency. White Construction worked closely with healthcare professionals to understand the unique challenges of this project, employing innovative construction practices to deliver a facility that meets the highest standards of care.
The Multicultural Center at Michigan State University is more than just a building—it’s a statement of inclusion, diversity, and unity. White Construction partnered with MSU to design and construct this transformative space, ensuring it reflected the voices and needs of the community.
This project celebrates culture and collaboration, offering students and faculty a dynamic space for dialogue, learning, and connection. Every element, from the welcoming design to the innovative building techniques, embodies our dedication to creating spaces that serve as catalysts for positive change.
