The owner still hasn't even fixed the elevators yet. As of February, the Penobscot building is less than half occupied. At this rate, it's going to be completely vacant and end up regressing while the rest of downtown is flourishing.

Nothing is going to happen with that building as long as that ugly worthless fat fuck is the owner. The city needs to come down hard on him.

The owner has already received 136 tickets for the conditions of the building totaling $74,750 as of March 2020.

But the owner has so far done fucking nothing

Historic Lofts Coming to Hubbard Farms Neighborhood in Detroit’s Mexicantown

Quote:
An abandoned historic structure will be redeveloped in Detroit’s Hubbard Farms neighborhood in Mexicantown as part of the city’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund initiative.

The Murray – Hubbard Farms is located at 4004 Porter St. near Clark Park. It will undergo a total renovation to become 12 units of modern, efficient housing across 16,404 square feet.

Three of the units will be affordable housing at 60 percent of the average median income. The project will cost about $4.6 million and is slated for completion in the spring of next year.

The rowhomes were built in 1917, and residents of the neighborhood have identified the building as one of their top redevelopment priorities.

“We are already seeing incredible transformation in these neighborhoods, and that is only going to continue as our city continues to emerge from the COVID pandemic and we get back to work,” says Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. “I’d like to thank Emery Matthews and REI for helping to not only create more much-needed affordable housing but also for making Hubbard Farms an even more beautiful place to live.”

W. Emery Matthews is the developer as well as co-founder and managing principal of Real Estate Interests. He, Duggan, and other officials broke ground on the development today. The renovation will maintain the building’s historic character. Real Estate Solutions will work in conjunction with Southwest Housing Solutions on the project.


Conner Street to get $4M in roadwork ahead of FCA Mack plant opening

Quote:
A key thoroughfare near Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' new assembly plant on the east side of Detroit is slated to get millions of dollars in roadwork in the coming months.

The City of Detroit is being awarded a more than $2.8 million state grant toward the estimated $3.9 million road project on Conner Street, which is near both the Jefferson North Assembly Plant and FCA's new Mack plant on the site of a former engine plant complex. The city is to provide about $1.1 million.

FCA's Mack plant, the first new assembly plant in the city in three decades, along with improvements at Jefferson North, are supposed to create almost 5,000 jobs for Jeep and Dodge SUV production. The project gives an early hire window for Detroit residents, and the process of getting residents into the pipeline is expected to restart over the next several weeks following delays associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction on Mack is be completed later this year.

The specific grant for the roadwork, the state's Targeted Industries Program grant, provides road improvement funding tied to job creation and investment.

"Transportation investments support economic opportunity. As a state, we must invest more in our roads so that employees have safe routes to work and companies have unimpeded access to markets," Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a news release.

The work on Conner is needed, officials said, because of the condition of the roadway and because once the work is completed on the assembly plants, traffic volumes will increase. Average daily traffic is expected to rise from 21,395 vehicles to 30,155, with commercial vehicles moving from just over 9% to almost 15% of the volume, according to the city.

From what I read in Crains, 2021 is the target for construction to start. Also got the impression from the story that it was now the priority over the Monroe Block.

Thanks. Yes i also heard this before Monroe Block which to me is too bad. Out of all projects I’ve always been most excited for MB.

Construction update by Kirk Pinho from Crain's Detroit:

http://https://www.crainsdetroit.com...t-construction


Workers continue underground work at the site of the TCF Bank headquarters building on Woodward Avenue, which is slated to be 20 stories tall. It's among many projects in downtown Detroit showing progress following upheaval caused by the coronavirus pandemic.


Cranes have been built on the Hudson's site, with one for the construction of the 232-foot so-called "block" building to the north and another for the 680-foot skyscraper component to the south.


Construction continues on the City Club Apartments CBD Detroit building at 313 Park Ave. on the site of the former Statler Hotel. Work began in September 2017.


Signage has been placed in front of the new Little Caesars Global Resource Center on Woodward Avenue next to the Fox Theater.


This parking garage near the Brush Park neighborhood as part of the South of Mack Avenue development started going up seemingly yesterday.


Equipment outside the Park Avenue Building downtown, where a Novi developer plans to convert the vacant building into apartments.


Take a jog up the Dequindre Cut and you'll notice that this large building has seemingly gone up with little fanfare. A large rock climbing and fitness center called DYNO is in the works.


Once commercial construction was allowed to resume in May, city officials announced a host of projects resuming or starting work. The Parker Durand in the West Village neighborhood was one of them.


Workers continue to build the five-story Detroit Medical Center Sports Medicine Institute between Little Caesars Arena and the Wayne State University Mike Ilitch School of Business.


The first phase of the Midtown West project is beginning to take shape on the neighborhood's western edge.


After years of delays, some minor visible work seems to have taken place at Patterson Terrace in Brush Park.


The Cambria Hotel project, formerly condos, is making headway downtown.

It doesn't seem like Covid has really slowed construction in the city at all. (well other than the obvious lockdown we had for a few months)

Compare this to the great recession where pretty much EVERYTHING fell apart and came to a screeching halt all at once, contractors couldn't get any work.

Not sure if this a part of the SOMA project, but seems like the City Club Apartments is proposing a 350 apartments at that site:

https://www.crainsdetroit.com/real-e...wn-whole-foods



"*City Club Apartments Midtown development would have 350 units, 41,500 square feet of retail

*Project proposed for South of Mack Avenue site at Woodward and Mack

*Other development components include large parking deck, AC Hotel

A longtime Detroit area developer is planning a 350-unit apartment complex on a key site across from the Whole Foods Inc. grocery store in the city's Midtown neighborhood.

Jonathan Holtzman, the co-founder and CEO of Farmington Hills-based City Club Apartments LLC, is proposing the three-building project as part of a broader 7-acre site at the southeast corner of Woodward Avenue and Mack Avenue.

The project, currently dubbed City Club Apartments Midtown, would also include 41,500 square feet of restaurant, cafe, bank and retail space plus 186 underground parking spaces, according to a Tuesday evening presentation to the Brush Park Community Development Corp. that was obtained by Crain's.

A proposed site plan included in the presentation shows the restaurant, cafe and bank space facing Woodward and two floors of retail facing Mack. The site plan also includes a pair of pocket parks at Woodward and Mack and Woodward and Elliot Street, plus what's referred to as an "art park" running through the site.

Adam Nyman, who owns the property with his father, George Nyman, declined comment via email Wednesday morning. A City Club Apartments spokesman said Holtzman is traveling and unavailable for comment today. Additional details on the plans were not available.

Architecture firm BKV Group is listed on the renderings presented to the CDC on Tuesday evening.

Robert Platt, chief investment officer for City Club Apartments, hinted at the project last summer when he was profiled as a Crain's 40 Under 40 honoree.

The City Club Apartments Midtown development iis one of three known projects Holtzman's company is working on.

The first, the redevelopment of the former Statler Hotel site on Grand Circus Park, is a 288-unit ground-up development that began in 2017 at 313 Park Ave.

The second is a $25 million renovation of the Elmwood Park Plaza tower at 750 Chene St., which is being renamed City Club Apartments Lafayette Park.

City Club Apartments formed in 2016 after Holtzman and his former company, Village Green Cos., which is now based in Southfield, parted ways.

Holtzman and Canadian investor Alan Greenberg are partners on City Club Apartments, which has developments in the pipeline in Detroit and a half-dozen other Midwestern cities.

City Club Apartments also owns Renaissance City Club Apartments at 555 Brush St. and Detroit City Club Apartments at 1431 Washington Blvd.

Farmington Hills-based Howard Schwartz Commercial Real Estate LLC is handling South of Mack Avenue parking deck retail leasing while Farmington Hills-based Friedman Real Estate is working on the City Club Apartments retail leasing.

Also included in the project are a parking garage with retail space designed by Neumann/Smith Architecture, which is under construction on the southern portion of the site, and a $46 million AC Hotel, part of the Marriott International hotel chain, developed by Detroit-based Roxbury Group.

Immediately north of the Whole Foods, a development group spearheaded by Ciena Healthcare CEO Mohammad Qazi proposed a pair of high-rise residential and hotel buildings plus retail space, although that project — announced in March 2019 — has yet to get out of the ground.

A previously planned condominium component has been scrapped since the project was unveiled.

"It's a great anchor for that part of Midtown," said David Di Rita, principal of Roxbury Group.

"My view has been for some time that Mack and Woodward is going to emerge as the downtown Midtown, if you will, and I think that will become really clear with the development we're doing, Jonathan's doing and that Peter Cummings and Chris Jackson are doing. If you think about that, it's really building on the great work that Peter's organization did a decade or more ago in developing the (Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center), the Ellington, and with the wave of projects we are hopeful will come to fruition the next year or two, people will see the strength of that."

Cummings' The Platform LLC and Jackson's and James Jenkins' Queen Lillian II development companies are jointly working on a $59 million project now called Woodward West that would have 204 apartments plus retail at Woodward and Stimson Street."

That is definitely not Mack Avenue in the render so I don't know what they're talking about.

Yeah, that's definitely Eliot Street. Just to the right of the new building is where a planned parking garage will stand between Eliot and Mack, and the corner of Mack and Woodward has long been planned as an office tower. All part of SoMA.
