Which raises the question- who owns all of the vacant lots in Brush Park? I know there was some kind of deal many years ago to buy the rotting mansions and restore them but that very few actually got restored.
Many are owned by the city, from my understanding.

But in my eyes, Brush Park is the next neighborhood to take off: connects Downtown to Midtown, close to many of the best assets in Detroit, and lots of development opportunities. My only concern is if Illitch builds his new arena across Woodward, will it turn the empty lots in Brush Park into parking?? Luckily most of the inhabited buildings in Brush Park are between Woodward and John R, so it might stop it...
