525 Smith Street, Detroit, MI 48202

Eleven contiguous residential land parcels are available in Detroit's North End. The properties, located on Smith Street, are zoned residential and offer potential for a new-build or infill development opportunity. The properties must be purchased together as a bundle and cannot be split. Interested buyers must submit a proposal that includes a project proposal with intended use and timeline, proof of funds, scope of work with a breakdown of renovation costs, and proof of previous projects including addresses and photos. The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) is seeking proposals for small- to medium-scale infill development to increase housing supply, restore the urban fabric, and improve density and walkability. Interested buyers should consult the proposal guidelines for new-build opportunities and review relevant Neighborhood Framework Plans from the City of Detroit's Planning and Development Department for additional context about the neighborhood. The DLBA is entitled to 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 payment will be determined upon reviewing the development pro forma and the effect of any tax abatement on the purchase and development financing. The total lot size is 0.1 acres.
