Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The properties at 2546 W. Forest and 2540 W. Forest offer a unique opportunity to acquire a structure requiring renovation, along with an adjacent vacant lot. The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) seeks a qualified proposal for the rehabilitation of 2546 W. Forest, with 2540 W. Forest included as part of the overall site plan and redevelopment approach. Proposals should clearly outline the scope of renovation for the existing structure, the intended use of the additional lot, project costs, timeline, and proof of funds sufficient to support completion. The strongest proposals will demonstrate a feasible redevelopment plan, relevant experience, and a cohesive vision for both parcels that contributes positively to the surrounding neighborhood. These properties, with a total lot size of 0.04 acres, are part of a bundle package and must be sold together. The DLBA is entitled to a tax capture for the 5 tax years subsequent to transferring ownership of the property. The tax capture may be incompatible with tax abatement that are otherwise available to the selected purchaser. DLBA will review requests to waive its tax capture rights and may require a payment in lieu of taxes to approve such requests. The payment will be determined upon reviewing the development proforma and effect of any tax abatement on the purchase and development financing. The properties are located in Detroit, MI.

Key Highlights

  • Opportunity to acquire a structure and adjacent vacant lot as a bundle.
