Downtowns are back

[Crawford]

Downtown Detroit has barely any new residential construction. There are some office-to-residential conversions, and some new lowrise residentials, but I don't think a highrise residential building has been built in downtown Detroit since Millender Center was built in 1985.

Correction - believe the last of the Riverfront Towers was built in the early 1990's. Those are three subsidized towers built just west of the downtown freeway loop, but even if technically outside the loop, I think everyone would count Riverfront Towers as "downtown" even if they're detached from downtown, and not really walkable bc of the roadway infrastructure.
