Awesome. Very impressive, creative adaption to the vacant land at that site.
Next: Need something on the Woodward block between Alfred and Edmund Pl.
Someone with $$$$$$$ has got to believe that those block[[s) with frontage on Woodward and blocks from the new arena will become very desirable: Walk to the arena, Comerica, Ford Field, etc. M-1 to downtown, WSU, medical center, etc.
Man, the winter blues had me kind of down the last few weeks. Between the Gilbert building and this...I'm suddenly feeling all optimistic inside. :D
This got me thinking about police presence in this area. Will WSU grow their police force to accommodate the residency growth? I mention it here because I know that they responded to YOBS when they had break-ins while the DPD couldn't get there fast enough, but I've heard that Brush Park really isn't their normal territory.
Neato. Can anyone provide an update on Brush Park Village North. It's on John R & Erskine

looks like an arrested development:

is there an update on the Herman Keifer complex at the Lodge/Clairmount?
375 brand spanking new residences proposed and a multi billion dollar infrastructure project moving forward. Pretty good 2 days.
I dropped my phone yesterday and broke the screen so I couldn't keep up with news today like I usually do. When I finally did get it fixed and started browsing various sites I nearly dropped it again from excitement! Between this and Capitol Park, just a good news day.
Soon that area will be are Brush Park [[a.k.a CRACKHEAD ESTATES!) will become like the Gold Coast of Detroit. It's bye bye poor folks.
Sasche and Neumann construction [[ Dan Gilbert's relatives) will fund the project with a iron clad contract.
well, why couldn't it be finished? it's not like their isn't demand. make it rental until it can be converted to condominium.
More renderings from the Brush Park CDC website!

Also very interesting are the Joie De Vivre boutique hotel plans for Brush Park which look like they were submitted to the Brush Park CDC this month. This might be from the same developers that originally wanted the Statler hotel site [[but were rejected last year), since they also wanted to bring a Joie De Vivre boutique hotel to that site. It's hard to tell from the plans...

Great find BTW, Tuere.
I had no idea how good of product Joie De Vivre Hotels are...this is their website.

Yep. I would think the prime usage for that land would be residential. Wouldn't that be a reversion to what it was say 100 years ago? Folks lived there in pricey residences and worked downtown. Right?
I don't see a big need for an 'executive hotel'.
IF anything, I'd think a tourist hotel to piggyback off Comerica/Ford Field/arena [[as I assume a hotel at Woodward/Fisher would be).
Now that I think of it, might that hotel 'morph' into a hotel for visiting teams at Comerica/Ford Field/arena?
Wouldn't it be easier to 'house' players there then say the Westin Cadillac???
I didn't realize Joie de Vivre hotels were so well done either. Very nice. Brush Park does seem a little bit of an odd location, but I'm not sure they are focused on the business crowd based on looking at some of their other hotels, for example, the Joie de Vivre hotel in Chicago is located in Lincoln Park. I guess with Brush Park they would be building with the expectation that restaurants and bars will develop around the hotel site. Of course the proximity to all of the arenas and theatre seating may be enough of a reason to develop now, even with the location being relatively isolated. You're a very short Uber ride or slightly longer walk away from everything.
