Detroit apartment buildings fill; renters' age falls

[DetroitPlanner]

What's not exciting about a newly renovated historic building with all the "modern amenities" of a new development?

The last "modern" apartments built were the Millender and Trolley Plaza....and now those seem outdated by these renovated historic buildings.

It is more cost effective to rehab an old building than to construct a whole new one...not to mention the quality of the existing buildings is much better than any new drywall constructed POS.

Totally agree building new is the last thing we need. We need to reuse what we currently have. You can't complain about how old buildings are being replaced by parking lots and support the building of new state of the art buildings that incorporate lots of ameneties [[of which the #1 being parking).

Renovate what we have. We currently have an excess of parking downtown when you look at all the new structures built for the Book, the old Charter One building, etc.....
