Former Lelli's restaurant site in Detroit sold to VA for Fisher House project

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs late last month bought a 1.27-acre site that had been home to Lelli's Inn, which served Northern Italian cuisine for more than six decades at that location, said Terence Edmondson, president of Detroit-based Exclusive Realty, which was the brokerage firm on the deal.CoStar Group Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based real estate information service, says the purchase price was $3.3 million. The property, situated at Woodward Avenue and Bethune Street, sits immediately north of the Penske Tech Center for the QLine streetcar that runs between downtown and the New Center area.
Edmondson said in an email that the VA intends to convert the site into a Zachary and Elizabeth M. Fisher House development following the sale, which he described as a "relatively easy process" after he reached out to gauge the department's interest.
