The Stroh Companies has owned 300 River Place since 1979, and the CEO of The Stroh Companies, John Stroh III, said that no other investor in Detroit is better equipped to carry 300 River Place into the future.

Bedrock says they intend to fill all vacant space at 300 River Place while maintaining all current tenants, including the Belle Isle Conservancy and Associated Press.
