Affordable housing is coming to Detroit's Milwaukee Junction neighborhood in 2021 to address increasing rent in the New Center area, the city of Detroit announced Tuesday.

Twenty out of 25 units in the new Milwaukee Junction Apartments will have monthly rent ranging from $454 to $945 - based on average median income - with water bills included. Construction began on the four-story development in May and will cost about $8 million, according to a news release....

The 22,845 square-foot building at 258 E. Milwaukee St. will be within walking distance of bus and QLINE stops. About 1,800 square feet of retail space is planned for the ground floor.

Units will include central air conditioning, in-unit washers and dryers and energy efficient LED lighting. The building also will feature a community area for residents and rooms for mail, bike storage and mechanical equipment.
