I'm not an expert on notability of buildings but this article doesn't indicate why this building is notable. I don't believe it has lasting notability Gbawden (talk) 13:27, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. In addition to the Crain's reference that was already in the article, there is some newspaper coverage from when KMart moved out; it was designed by a prominent architectural firm and comes up in lists of their work (there's a postcard offered for sale by a dealer that notes the modular design); it gets 3 pages in an architectural journal's 1974 theme issue on corporate headquarters; and it has a state historic marker. I've rearranged the article and added references, and the journal treatment as further reading since I can't see it online. It's more notable than the failed plan to redevelop the site, Pavilions of Troy (and now has incoming links from there and from the architecture firm). But the HQ of the Kresge Foundation across the road is more architecturally notable. I suspect there is more regional newspaper coverage that Google isn't showing me, both from when the building opened and from the plans and attempted purchases after it closed. At present I believe it squeaks by, but I hope others can find more, on- or off-line. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:45, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
