Wayne State may ditch $60 million mixed-use plan at Cass and Canfield after years of delays

  • The Vernor development, with apartments, hotel and retail, is years behind schedule
  • Wayne State, which owns the property, is considering whether to move in a different direction with 1.5-acre site
  • Developer Broder & Sachse is shifting from apartments to condos after re-examining project economics

It had been planned for 248 apartments, a 120-room hotel, 19,000 square feet of retail and a 300-person conference center after awarding an April 2013 request for proposals to Broder & Sachse and entering into a memorandum of understanding for the $60 million project with the developer in November 2013.
