The address is on a well-traveled Detroit corridor and is positioned for convenience and accessibility. Zoning is listed as Residential.

The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) is seeking proposals for the renovation and reuse of the multi-family home. Interested buyers are asked to submit a complete proposal that outlines the intended use, renovation scope, project budget, timeline, proof of funds, and relevant prior experience. Proposals will be reviewed competitively based on purchase price, project feasibility, financial capacity, development experience, and neighborhood benefit. The DLBA is also entitled to a tax capture for the five tax years following the transfer of ownership, and that tax capture may be incompatible with certain tax abatements; waiver requests are reviewed case-by-case and may require a payment in lieu of taxes.
