Overview

Located in the heart of Detroit’s Central Business District, the Fort Shelby Residences present an investment opportunity. The offering includes two high-floor condominium units situated just below the penthouse level. Both units are fully leased through July 2026, providing immediate cash flow. Residents have access to amenities of the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel, including lobby reception, coffee shop, restaurant and bar, business and reception center, and fitness room. The residential floors are located above the hotel in the Albert Kahn tower. The property benefits from low property taxes—less than $3,000 per unit per year—due to the NEZ-Rehab tax abatement in place through 2032. The Home Owners Association does not restrict long-term leasing, but short-term rentals are not permitted. The condos are positioned for appreciation with continued development throughout West Downtown, including the Cambria Hotel, Water Square Apartments, and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park. As individual condominium units, they may also be sold separately in the future.
