Phoenix Group Consultants & The Whittier

so i have a friend who recently purchased a unit at shoreline east on jefferson. his unit has amazing views of both downtown, wayne county & the Whittier. i know that the north portion of the whittier was rehabbed into senior apartments, but the south end rehab has stalled. wondering if anyone has any info on the rehab or the group? owner is Phoenix Group Consultants owned by Melvin Washington.

i found this puff piece, but not much else:

his facebook page hasn't been updated in over 1 yr:

he's also supposed to be turning the old grand river police precinct into "castle lofts"

So he's the National Theater owner?! Oh geez...

sounds like a guy who fully relies on subsidies , and perhaps rightfully so.

Scumbag. Owns tons of blight around Woodbridge.
