Some recent stuff from Urbanize:
Revamped apartment building now leasing in Midtown
Quote:
The Charlotte, a 1915 building in Midtown, has new life after an extensive renovation. 40 studio and one-bedroom apartments are new renting from $1,025 to $1,350 a month.
Previous owners had started a renovation but sold the building when they couldn't finish. The new owners found the right contractor who was able to finish and keep many of the features intact. When purchased, the Cass Corridor building was vacant and had no running water, heat, or electricity in the units, according to Marc Couillais of Modern City.
The apartments have historic features with some modern updates. Each unit has exposed brick. Flooring is concrete on the first floor, and wood on the upper levels. The one-bedroom apartments facing the city have 8-foot wide barn doors with glass for natural light. The studios have bed nooks so the bed isn't in the middle of the living space. Some apartments have the original clawfoot tubs and terrazzo flooring in the bathrooms, while others have a tiled stand-up shower.

Dreamtroit development to bring affordable housing to NW Goldberg
Quote:
An old factory adjacent to Recycle Here and the Lincoln Street Art Park will soon transform into an 81-unit mixed-use development called Dreamtroit. The $20 million project, led by Matt Naimi and Oren Goldenberg, has started construction and could be completed by early 2022.
“We believe it is the people and the culture that push our city into the future,” said Naimi, founder of Recycle Here. “For the past 12 years, we have been bringing people together through public programming, public space, environmentalism and art. We are ensuring that the working class, artists and innovators will continue to have a home and a platform to build the next generation of Detroit's cultural and technological revolution, while offering affordable housing to those who make Detroit such a unique and creative place.”
The development at 1331 Holden Street will have 38,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, including a market and restaurant, with the intention of creating spaces for artists and creatives to gather. 58 of the 81 units will be considered affordable housing, with 17 reserved for households at or below 50 percent area median income (AMI), 41 units at 80 percent AMI, and the rest at 120 percent AMI.

Proposals sought for multi-phase development in Woodbridge
Quote:
A multi-phase development in Woodbridge will bring a variety of housing options to the centralized historic neighborhood. Cinnaire and Woodbridge Neighborhood Development have undergone a community engagement process for the new development, and are now releasing a Request for Proposals to develop the first phase.
The development will be built at Rosa Parks Boulevard and West Canfield, over nine acres of vacant land and the old Hancock Middle School buiding. The new housing should include a variety of options for residents, including different income levels and ownership options. Expect townhouses, mixed-use residential and retail, parking structures, and multi-family properties.
“Woodbridge is a historic neighborhood rich in cultural and economic diversity,” said Liliana Gonzalez, Development Design Specialist, Cinnaire Solutions. “Our vision is to preserve the diversity the neighborhood has long celebrated while bringing new lasting projects to increase investment in the community and create opportunities to support aspiring developers. Building local developer capacity will ensure the varied needs of this community continue to be met.”

Newly renovated 40 Hague ready for residents in the North End
Quote:
Just off of Woodward, a few blocks down from Boston-Edison, a historic Albert Kahn building has been transformed and activated. 40 Hague, built as a Packard Automobile Showroom, now has 38 apartments that are ready to lease.
RainCheck Development bought the building and adjacent lots in 2018. The two-story, 37,000-square-foot building is now comprised of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments leasing for $2 per square foot ($895 up to $1,795). Capital Impact Partners worked with RainCheck on funding, so eight units have been reserved for residents making 60% of the area median income.
To create larger windows and light for the interior apartments, and to add more outdoor space, the building now has a courtyard with direct access for tenants. It will include bistro tables, bamboo, and Juliet balconies for upper apartments. Large windows bring light into every unit, and raw details adorn exterior walls. Some apartments even have remnants of old car ramps.
