Overview

This property presents a rare redevelopment opportunity in the Midtown neighborhood. Situated in the center of LCA and Olympia Entertainment, DMC Hospital, Motor City Casino, Downtown District, and Midtown, the location benefits from its proximity to the Community Benefits Impact Area for the $1.5B District Detroit Development, which includes hotels, entertainment venues, residences, retail, and business incubators. The property is on the National Historic Registry but does not have use restrictions, and the existing building could be leveled if desired. A variety of possibilities exist, including new construction on the vacant portion with rehabilitation of the existing structure. Potential uses include subsidized housing with a servicing center, co-working space, medical offices, condo conversion, or a family office center. The site offers ample space for parking and expansion. Tax credits are available for this historic site.
