The Park Avenue Building is a 12-story beaux-arts high-rise located at 2001-2017 Park Avenue in the Park Avenue Historic District in downtown Detroit, Michigan. Formerly known as the General Necessities Building, the 101,565 sq. ft. office building was designed by Albert Kahn in 1922.[1]

Currently owned by Ralph Sachs, the former owner of the historic Hotel Charlevoix which was demolished in 2013, the Park Avenue building was listed for sale on July 3, 2015 for $16,500,000. The Park Avenue Building has been targeted for demolition by city planners as part of the "Arena District" rehabilitation effort.[2]
