2196 Field Street, Detroit, MI 48214

This offering from the Detroit Land Bank Authority features seven buildable lots in the Islandview neighborhood, situated minutes from Belle Isle Park. A Request for Proposals (RFP) is being issued for small- to medium-scale infill development, with the aim of increasing housing supply, restoring the urban fabric, and supporting greater density and walkability within the neighborhood. The parcels, located on Field Street (specifically parcels 2148, 2158, 2166, 2172, 2184, 2194, and 2196), are currently zoned R2, but higher-density proposals may be considered through conditional use approval. Interested purchasers should review the DLBA proposal guidelines for new-build opportunities and submit a detailed project description with their proposal. The City of Detroit's Planning and Development Department's Islandview Greater Villages Neighborhood Framework Plan is available for additional neighborhood context. The total site area is approximately 44,261 square feet. Note that the DLBA is entitled to a tax capture for five tax years following the transfer of ownership, which may be incompatible with certain tax abatements and/or lot combinations. Requests to waive the DLBA's tax capture rights will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may require a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT). Proposals must be submitted no later than February 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
