New Live/Work Lofts Coming to Midtown, East of DIA and College for Creative Studies
Quote:
Nailah, a historic and new residential and commercial developer, has gained approval by the City of Detroit for a new commercial/residential project called Petit Bateau, located in the Midtown Art Center District of Detroit.
One of the last developable parcels in the Midtown Cultural Center Art District, the Petit Bateau project will be comprised of six buildings and 92 residential units including townhomes, apartments, work/live units, and loft/office spaces. The main level retail can be configured to a tenant’s specific needs.
Petit Bateau will be located on Frederick Avenue, between Beaubien and St. Antoine streets. It is directly adjacent to Peck Park, and east of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Wayne State University, and the main campus of the College of Creative Studies.

Caterpillar lands in Core City
Quote:
Surrounded by newly-planted redbuds, sycamore, and evergreens, a new Quonset hut development has been completed in Core City. We recently visited Caterpillar with developer Philip Kafka of Prince Concepts to see the 9,000-square-foot structure.
Instead of the individual Quonset huts of nearby True North, Caterpillar has one long hut divided in to eight units. The fully-leased development has six residences and two larger work/live spaces; units range between 750-1,300 square feet. A pathway with terrazzo squares repurposed from the nearby 5K building lead up to each door. A deck surrounds the metal structure, giving residents a front and back porch. The two larger units on the end face Fisheye Farms.

Warrendale, Cody Rouge to see investment in commercial, green spaces
Quote:
The next area to benefit from the city's Strategic Neighborhood Fund is Cody Rouge and Warrendale on Detroit's west side. The neighborhoods will see $7.4 million invested in improvements for its residents and visitors.
The plan was developed over a year and a half from input of local residents, including 400 youth who call it home.
Key investments include:
Improving the West Warren Commercial Corridor. This will entail adding an open-air plaza, supporting existing businesses, adding streetscapes and murals to attract new businesses and visitors, and improving building facades (see before/after slider below).
Streetscape improvements. In order to slow down traffic on West Warren, the plan includes adding bike lanes, moving bus stops, safer crosswalks, better lighting, and adding wayfinding signs so area kids can easier locate schools, parks, and rec centers.
Housing stock stabilization. The plan calls for rehabbing homes and moving in new families or demolition if neighborhood homes are too far gone for rehab.
Park and green space enhancements. Next year, the city will begin improvements of neighborhood parks. Simanek Playfield will get update courts and playfields, along with bike and skater areas. A new stage for performances will be built at Stein Park. And a new park will be developed at the old Dixon School site.
