The building probably took some work to get ready for the new tenant, and the piece doesn't say how long he has been in there. This is the kind of fluff piece that the news puts in as time allows, and channel 4 has had a PR campaign promoting Detroit for several years.
I am struck by the low overhead clearance. When the government built the Chippewa plant for Studebaker, they built the ceiling high enough that, after the war, Studebaker used it for truck final assembly. If the forklift doors in the background of this pic are the same height as the doors in building 22, Chippewa has a good 4 feet or more of extra clearance.

Guess it takes some time in the City of Detroit to get the process moving - 8 months.
