The Madison Loft and Auditorium marries the historic charm of Detroit architecture with modern industrial elegance to create an unforgettable event space. The first space is a state-of-the-art, 130-seat auditorium that’s ideal for presentations or trainings, wedding ceremonies, fireside chats and screenings. The second space, adjacent to the auditorium, is a loft area that accommodates up to 180 guests. The space features an industrial feel, complete with exposed brick and beams, high ceilings and oversized windows. The area is endlessly flexible in its ability to accommodate events of all kinds.
The Madison Rooftop is perhaps the most unique and iconic space in our portfolio. The multilevel outdoor space overlooks Comerica Park and provides picturesque views of Detroit’s historic downtown architecture and entertainment district. The 7,000 square foot rooftop has modern furnishings, a covered catering area, a full-service bar, a dance floor, and a wraparound balcony, making the rooftop of this 100+ year old building the perfect setting to tie the knot, celebrate a milestone or connect with colleagues.
History
New Life for a Detroit Landmark
The Madison Theatre was built in 1917 at a cost of $500,000… a hefty price tag for a theatre in Detroit back then. It seated over 1,800 and at the time was the largest of the theatres in Detroit’s former theatre district, Grand Circus Park. In 1984, the Madison closed for good. In 2011, Dan Gilbert’s Rock Ventures purchased the building and transformed it into a collaborative tech hub to encourage partnerships among entrepreneurs.
