John Hantz lives in Detroit--he has a huge house in Indian Village, and bought the one next door as a guest house. He got some of his top employees to move into the neighborhood, too. Kind of surprising, since these are very much your typical wealthy suburban type financial industry guys. Hantz is easily one of the wealthiest people in Detroit, though not very well-known aside from the building in Southfield that has his name on it. Matt Allen went to work for him after leaving the KK administration. I'm not sure of the level of community involvement Hantz has had in the past, but I can't imagine his investment company is doing very well these days--he's probably looking to branch out for some new revenue, and maybe Matt Allen dropped this idea on his desk.
