Hello everyone. Never posted here before but I check out the site all the time.

I came across this video on YouTube and found it fascinating....I'm sure most of you have seen it but I'm wondering...

Outside of DIF, are there any unique sources of financing that folks are aware of for multifamily acquisitions/rehab projects downtown? [[Given, obviously, sufficient developer equity, credit, etc.)...

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions!

I have some friends in from out of town this weekend, and we are headed downtown on Friday night. As they're unfamiliar with Detroit, I want to take them to dinner somewhere unique and fun. I'm...

They are building out the ground floor space for a cell phone store - - Verizon or AT&T or something.

Where exactly is the Packard Plant?

Keep in mind, all of the freeways you reference [[and, btw, i agree that they break up the city) were built right on top of existing neighborhoods that previously connected some of the [[now)...

Edit to above - obviously thats sarcastic.

Long time lurker here - - haven't posted much so forgive me if this has been discussed and I missed it.

I've heard rumors and seen renderings about a proposed streetscape improvement plan for...

Interesting article on Capitol Park. I've seen a couple of similar articles lately about how that may be the next "hot spot" for development and would be curious to see what people think about the...

April Fools!

Do you happen to know the name of the developer who is proposing the plan? Is it Jim or someone else?

Not choosing to renew a tenant's lease is not the same as "displacing" residents. Believe it or not, we are still living in a free market society where property owners are free to do what they'd...

I heard the "original" Honest John served up more stock tips than he did drinks!

The original Honest John's on Field was great - - anyone remember that place? Would love to hear some old stories!!!

Why do people come downtown to go out to eat or to go see a play? You can do that in the suburbs too, but coming downtown makes it a "special", "unique" event.

How would a streetcar system help? Unless it went from downtown to...Canton...
