Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The properties at 2546 W. Forest and 2540 W. Forest offer an 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 outline the renovation scope for the existing structure, the intended use of the additional lot, project costs, timeline, and proof of sufficient funds 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 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, which may be incompatible with tax abatements. The DLBA will review requests to waive its tax capture rights and may require a payment in lieu of taxes to approve such requests. The bike score is 68, indicating the location is bikeable. The walk score is 40, indicating car-dependence. The transit score is 50, indicating good transit options.
