It's been just over 8 months since demolition began on the old DDOT Coolidge Terminal, and construction is well underway on 3 new buildings, totaling nearly 200,000 sq. ft. over 22 acres of property, that will comprise the new DDOT Coolidge Operations & Maintenance Facility.

We’re not just constructing buildings, we’re building places for people to belong.
About us
We are Brinker. We are a family of five companies: L.S. Brinker, Brinker Team Construction, Universal Glass & Metals, City Carpet & Flooring, Edgewood Electric. Brinker provides the complete range of commercial construction services. Founded in Detroit in 1989, when others left the city because times were tough, we doubled down and stayed put. Because we’re in this to strengthen our community. Throughout our growth and acquisitions over the years, we’ve stood for quality, integrity, and a different way of doing business. We believe in building strong personal relationships, not just business alliances. In collaborating more and competing less. In setting new standards, not settling for the status quo. We approach every job—with every client and every partner—as an opportunity to collectively leverage our strengths. To work together to elevate our industry and lift up our community. With that goal in mind, we invite you to build with us.

eman-ci-pa-tion : to free from restraint, control, or the power of another especially: to free from bondage June 19th, 1865. The day Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to deliver the message of freedom amongst slaves who were still being held in bondage. As we reflect on this day, it is important to acknowledge and celebrate Black Americans for all the creativity, self-dependence, power, belonging, and resilience that’s been built within the community. As a well-established and diverse black-owned construction company, Brinker takes pride in giving back to the city of Detroit, populated with over 77% black or African American people of decent. “We have helped revitalize a major urban city,”, stated Larry Brinker Jr. in an interview. “From giving back to the Boys and Girls Club, Alternatives for Girls, and residents of Detroit to bringing Detroit’s historical artifacts like the Michigan Central Station back to life, Detroit has really given us kind of like a canvas which we could paint on.” We celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation not only on this day but on an everyday basis because “We’re not only constructing buildings. We’re building places for people to belong.”

The city buzzed with excitement as crowds poured into Roosevelt Park last night for Live From Detroit, The Concert at Michigan Central. The Grand Opening of the historic Michigan Central Station was met with an equally historic lineup of musical legends and legendary athletes, Detroit Mayor, Mike Duggan and Michigan Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, as well as Ford Chairman, Bill Ford and a host of celebrities, dignitaries and most importantly, a sea of excited Detroiters. We were incredibly proud to be a part of this historic moment in the history of Detroit, and to witness the start of a new chapter in the epic story of Michigan Central Station. #MichiganCentralOpen #LiveFromDetroit

It is less than one week until Michigan Central Station opens to the public. The transformation of Detroit’s iconic train station brings new life to this illustrious urban landmark and anchors Ford Motor Company's Michigan Central, a visionary innovation district in the historic Corktown neighborhood. Collaborating closely with the client, construction team, and community, our team, along with conservation specialists, architectural historians, and engineers, has rehabilitated the monumental structure, including the magnificent Guastavino-vaulted Waiting Room, Historic Concourse, and 13-story tower. This project is a prime example of contemporary design solutions rooted in technical preservation expertise, showcasing our 40 years of dedication to the stewardship of the built environment and the community. 📷 Photography by Jason Keen #MichiganCentralStation #Detroit #QuinnEvans #Architecture #Innovation #SustainableDesign #AdaptiveReuse #ResilientDesign

Today marked the grand opening of the newest, and possibly the most transformative, grocery store in the City of Detroit. The Detroit People's Food Co-op and Detroit Food Commons, is a community-owned grocery store, community kitchen, banquet facility, event space and headquarters for the Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network. This remarkable facility, over a decade in the making, will help to ensure food security and equality for Detroit's North End community, bringing quality food options, education and entrepreneurial opportunities to its members and customers. L.S. Brinker, a Brinker company, was so proud to have served as construction manager for this impactful project. As of today's ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Detroit People's Food Co-Op has over 3,600 members, but is open to the public as well, and we are excited to see it continue to grow and flourish!
