Renaissance Center station is a Detroit People Mover station in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is located at the northeast corner of the Renaissance Center complex, after which the station is named. A skybridge connects the station to the second level of the main tower complex at the base of Tower 200 (Northwest). The Renaissance Center complex is the location of the General Motors headquarters, a Marriott Hotel, the Wintergarden shopping center, and serves as an access point to the Detroit International Riverfront. A skybridge inside the complex also connects to the River East Center (Towers 500 and 600).[1]
In 2014, this stop was the second most heavily trafficked (behind only Greektown) with 487,758 riders.[2] The People Mover shut down temporarily on March 30, 2020, due to decreased ridership amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Following the system's May 2022 restart, the station reopened on September 14, 2022.[4]
