I visited Ross last week. We were supposed to get a virtual tour of the building , but there were some technical difficulties... 
. I did walk around and managed to get a good look at it. It looks fantastic and yeah they mentioned it will be ready by Jan 09.

Hey guys,
Fall 09 applicant here. Can anyone talk about living in Detroit? The reason I have been contemplating about Ross is location. Detroit is really struggling with high foreclosure rates and high unemployment rates. The crime rate in the city is also increasing. Should a married person whose wife wants to work in the city while he is pursuing his FT MBA give a thought to this scenario during his school selection. The other thing is weather. How bad does it get?
Apart from these 2 things, I find Ross to be a wonderful school to be in..

First off, you're not in Detroit, you're in Ann Arbor. It's a good 20-30 minute drive, just to get to the Detroit airport (which still isn't in Detroit). Detroit proper is a ~45 min drive from Ann Arbor.
Ann Arbor is a beautiful city. Almost half of the population is either students or faculty of UMich. The city is very trendy and kinda bohemian. A lot of really great restaurants for such a small town. Lots of art fairs, etc. Practically no crime at all.
The real estate market in Michigan as a whole is tanking. I left Ann Arbor a year ago and property had dropped ~30% in value. It's down almost 50% from what I've heard from people still there.
I think it would be a great place for a married MBA student to go because if your significant other can't find a job in Ann Arbor, there are plenty of good sized towns east of the city (Detroit suburbs).
The weather isn't that nice. It gets pretty dam cold in January through March (highs below freezing). It tends to be pretty cloudy too. Not a lot of snow, but it stays cold enough that the snow sticks around. I actually found the west side of Michigan to have nicer winters (more snow, but warmer).
Hope that helps.
