Bedrock acquired the former Sakthi Industrial Campus on W. Fort Street in Southwest Detroit in 2020. In February 2022, the developer announced Canadian auto supplier Magna and Detroit supplier LAN Manufacturing Group LLC were partnering through LM Manufacturing to open an $18.1 million seating facility on 296,000 square feet of the site. The project received a $2 million Michigan Business Development Program grant and is expected to be supported by a city property tax abatement. Bedrock's 37-acre property includes 10.4 acres of developable land and industrial and office real estate totaling about 620,000 square feet, as well as the shuttered Southwestern High School, which was demolished in 2023. The site was lost in receivership by Sakthi after the defaulted on paying back debts. Bedrock's reported purchase price was $38.5 million.
