Piquette Avenue, arguably the Silicon Valley of the early auto industry, is heading toward becoming quite the residential showcase if all falls in place.

Following on the news of the planned renovation of Fisher 21 comes this news of the repurposing of the Studebaker property next to the Piquette Ford Model T birthplace plant. The "Piquette Flats" development is being done by The Platform, who just completed Chroma on the on E. Grand Blvd. and Beaubien, so that bodes well.

As many know the other part of the former Studebaker property, across Brush and which burned down some years back, is the current site of a large recently-built veterans housing structure named Piquette Square.

Milwaukee Junction continues to heat up and are other lesser projects stirring there such as the recently completed Elaine Lofts at Edsel Ford and St. Antoine.
