I wouldn't be surprised to see the Habitat Co. buy it back. They were the original developers of the building and managed it up until a few years ago when they were shocked when the Northern Group...

I'll second MikeM's somewhat educated guess with my somewhat educated guess that it was former temporary war housing and/or former temporary war manufacturing space. It's mind boggling looking at...

You're missing three of the biggest projects in the city [[and also the State of Michigan) that started in or had major phases start in 2011 and are actually under construction as we speak:...

robtandersen,

You can do your own abstract title, but you're going to have to know some of the geographic, legal and political history of Detroit, Michigan and the Northwest Territories to get...

It's not public housing, it's mixed income housing. If you want more density, then figure out how to pay for it. How is it not connected with the surrounding neighborhood? This project is actually...

It almost seems like the GOPers realized they got played, didn't like that it was the "smart kids" that played 'em, and so now they're going to get even.

Face it GOP: you passed some bad...

The new development is called Emerald Springs [[don't even ask how it got the name).

Some more great looking stuff going on there. I...

Some pics of completed work. These pics are meant for construction monitoring, not a magazine so I appoligize in advance that they're not the greatest. But they give you a good idea of what's being...

Here's 2 pics of current construction activities. I'll find some showing completed construction.

Sorry I wasn't able to post some pics. Crazy week!

Low income at the level you describe Jowlska would actually be moderate income. You wouldn't qualify for public housing, but would qualify for...

One major thing that hasn't been said, and something that directly refute's kraig's point, is that the government funded bridge will leverage more funds for local roads. One amazing thing Snyder did...

I don't have pics off hand, might be able to post some sometime this week.

Phase 3, the northeastern corner of the site at Joy and the Railroad Tracks, is going full steam ahead with construction....

Well consider two things:

-If we don't provide a tax payer funded representation to B Kilpatrick, then he'll appeal and win on constitutional grounds and we'll have another trial all over again. ...

Had to go more SW than west but finally got it in! Also had to get the antenna away from the thick brick of the fireplace. Don Cherry in HD, here we go!

It's the environmental remediation of the site that's starting:

On the other side of the site a fence company has been adding a gate this...

The Sander's stores call them Detroit coolers, but it's the same thing as a Boston Cooler. So Prof. Scott get yourself over to your nearest Sander's store & get a Detroit Cooler!

I used Antenna Web when selecting an antenna to buy a few months ago and it said a small indoor, multi-directional antenna would get all the channels.

I did rescan my channels. I knew to start...

I live in GPP. I was getting Ch 9 in OK when it was analog OTA. Now I don't get it at all. My tuner says it doesn't even see a signal for Ch 9. Any tips on how to improve my reception? I use an...

Which land bank, the State land bank [[Michigan Fast Track Land Bank Authority) or Detroit Land Bank?

Fascinating article from the NY Times on the ecology of vacant lots and how scientists are studying them. Anyone know if this is going on in Detroit?

Bham1982,

I don't know who you are, but your statements about Brewster-Douglass having to have affordable housing as a component are completely wrong. DHC has either constructed or has under...

There is no need to replace units for a purchaser of the Douglass Homes property. HOPE VI didn't require 1 for 1 replacement of units and in fact HUD greatly discouraged that. The density of former...

I've worked with PLD numerous times in the past and currently work with them on several projects. While things at PLD aren't perfect and some staff can be difficult at times to work with, I will say...

DetNerd,

Aerotropolis is exactly about developing what we have already. Most of the development around the project and the zoning around the project push expansions/new development to already...

I agree that garbage is one of the better services in Detroit. Other than one worker one time a few years ago who, on bulk pickup day, was a complete ass and made a mess all over and refused to...
