HipCityDetroit.com was moving very aggressively in the north Brush Park area prior to the 2008 crash. Its signs loudly announced it intentions to renovate some of the existing mansions.



Most striking was its new construction townhouse at the corner of Brush and Erskine. I particularly liked how it quoted the style of the neighborhood with its turrets. Then it stopped.

While the Erskine wing remains incomplete, it puzzles me as to why the finished-appearing John R wing has never been put on the market. Instead it sits as a forlorn weed-strewn enigma.



What's the story and what's the possibility?
