On Monday, January 27, the City of Detroit, along with co-developers Southwest Detroit Business Association (SDBA) and Cinnaire Solutions celebrated the grand opening of La Joya Gardens, a transformative mixed-use, mixed-income development located at 4000 W. Vernor Highway. The event highlighted a collaborative effort to provide affordable housing, retail opportunities, and community space in Southwest Detroit. Additional key partners, including Invest Detroit, the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), and the Detroit Housing Commission, joined the celebration.

“What had been a vacant lot along the main commercial corridor in Southwest Detroit is now a beautiful mixed-use building that adds a significant number of affordable housing units for this area,” said Mayor Mike Duggan. “This is how we are making sure that as our neighborhoods come back, longtime residents know they can afford to stay and enjoy this revitalization.”

Community-Driven Development

La Joya Gardens represents a nearly $25 million investment and features 53 residential units – 42 designated as affordable for individuals earning 30% to 80% of the area median income (AMI) – and 11 market-rate apartments. Rents for the affordable units start at approximately $540 per month for a one-bedroom. The development also includes over 6,000 square feet of retail space, which will house local businesses catering to the neighborhood’s needs.

“The opening of La Joya Gardens is a milestone for Southwest Detroit, showcasing the power of collaboration and the resilience of our community,” said Laura Chavez-Wazeerud-Din, president & CEO, SDBA. “This development goes beyond providing affordable housing and retail spaces. It creates opportunities for connection and growth that reflect the spirit of Southwest Detroit. We’re proud to see this once-vacant block transformed into a vibrant hub of activity and opportunity, and we’re excited for the lasting impact it will have on our residents, entrepreneurs, and local businesses.”

Designed by SITIO Architecture + Urbanism, La Joya Gardens revitalizes an entire city block along W. Vernor Highway that had remained vacant for over a decade. The project is part of the Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF), a public-private partnership designed to support community-driven projects.

“La Joya Gardens is a shining example of what can be achieved when public and private organizations come together with the community to create something meaningful,” said Christopher Laurent, President of Cinnaire Solutions, codeveloper of La Joya Gardens. “From its name to its design, this project reflects the voice of the people of Southwest Detroit and their vision for a thriving, inclusive neighborhood.” Residents contributed to decisions about the project’s name, design, and amenities.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony featured remarks from the development team, funders and community leaders, including Mayor Mike Duggan, City of Detroit; Tonia Patino and Laura Chavez-Wazeerud-Din, SDBA; Christopher Laurent, Cinnaire Solutions; Council President Mary Sheffield and Councilmember Fred Durhall, Jr., City of Detroit; Amy Hovey, MSHDA; Maureen Icke-Anway, Invest Detroit, Arthur Jemison, Detroit Housing Commission and others.  

A Jewel in Southwest Detroit

Named “La Joya,” meaning “jewel” in Spanish, the development offers 47 one-bedroom and 6 two-bedroom apartments, a 1,500-square-foot flexible community space, and a landscaped retail plaza. Four street-facing retail spaces and a 500-square-foot café provide opportunities for small businesses and enhance the area’s vibrancy.

Cafe Clark, the first retailer at La Joya Gardens, is a welcoming coffee shop led by longtime Southwest Detroit residents Meli and Eduardo Salas. Drawing on their deep roots in the neighborhood and their Mexican heritage, the café offers a traditional coffee menu, light breakfast items, and a lunch selection featuring snacks, salads, sandwiches, and favorites from other local businesses.

 

Funding and Partners

“Support for La Joya Gardens is a perfect example of our priorities at MSHDA” said Amy Hovey, MSHDA Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director. “We are proud to finance and support developments in Detroit and statewide that expand access to truly affordable housing and empower individuals and families to thrive in the neighborhoods they choose.”

La Joya Gardens is the latest project supported by the Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF), a partnership between the City of Detroit, Invest Detroit, neighborhood residents and corporate donors. SNF funds community-driven projects, each of which begins by soliciting input from residents. SNF, with assistance from PNC Bank, funded the community engagement process for the project, and provided $1.6 million in gap funding, which supports the deep affordability of the units. 

“Through the Strategic Neighborhood Fund and support from partners like PNC Bank, we were able to amplify the voices of over 200 local residents, ensuring that their insights and aspirations shaped every aspect of this development,” said Maureen Icke-Anway, Senior Vice President, Impact, Invest Detroit. “Over $30,000 in grant funds supported these robust community engagement efforts, including door-to-door surveys and hosting resident meetings at local community spaces such as Armando’s Mexican Restaurant and First Latin American Baptist Church.”

Developers Southwest Detroit and Cinnaire Solutions partnered with O’Brien Construction as the general contractors, 511 Design and w/Purpose for owner representation and Mission Lift, Congress of Communities and LA SED for community engagement.

The significance of the new housing and retail project in Southwest Detroit was summed up by Mary Carmen Munoz, Executive Director of LA SED. “Attending the opening of La Joya Gardens was a celebration of many years of work by SDBA , City of Detroit, MSHDA, and others to bring modern, affordable housing to our community.  As Detroit’s population continues to grow, so does the need for affordable housing for longtime residents.  As La Joya’s closest neighbor, and Southwest Detroit’s oldest advocacy agency, LA SED welcomes La Joya to the neighborhood and hopes this is the beginning of more affordable housing options for our community,” Munoz added.

 

La gran inauguración de La Joya Gardens trae nuevas viviendas asequibles y espacio comercial al suroeste de Detroit

El lunes 27 de enero, la ciudad de Detroit, junto con los codesarrolladores Southwest Detroit Business Association (SDBA) y Cinnaire Solutions, celebró la gran inauguración de La Joya Gardens, un desarrollo transformador de uso mixto e ingresos mixtos ubicado en 4000 W. Vernor Highway. El evento destacó un esfuerzo colaborativo para brindar viviendas asequibles, oportunidades comerciales y espacio comunitario en el suroeste de Detroit. Otros socios clave, incluídos Invest Detroit, Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) y Detroit Housing Commission, se unieron a la celebración.

“Lo que era un lote vacío a lo largo del corredor comercial principal, del suroeste de Detroit es ahora un hermoso edificio que agrega una cantidad significativa de vivienda asequibles para esta área”, dijo el alcalde Mike Duggan. “Así es como nos aseguramos de que, a medida que nuestros vecindarios se recuperen, los residentes sepan que pueden darse el lujo de quedarse y disfrutar de esta revitalización”.

Desarrollo impulsado por la comunidad

La Joya Gardens representa una inversión de casi $25 millones y cuenta con 53 unidades residenciales (42 designadas como viviendas asequibles para personas que ganan entre el 30 % y el 80 % del ingreso medio del área, AMI) y 11 apartamentos a precio de mercado. Los alquileres de las unidades asequibles comienzan en aproximadamente $540 por mes para un apartamento de una habitación. El desarrollo también incluye más de 6000 pies cuadrados de espacio comercial, que albergará a empresas locales que atiendan las necesidades del vecindario.

“La apertura de La Joya Gardens es un indicador para el suroeste de Detroit, que muestra el poder de la colaboración y la resiliencia de nuestra comunidad”, dijo Laura Chávez-Wazeerud-Din, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de SDBA. “Este desarrollo va más allá de brindar viviendas y espacios comerciales. Crea oportunidades de conexión y crecimiento que reflejan el espíritu del suroeste de Detroit. Estamos orgullosos de ver que esta cuadra que alguna vez estuvo vacía se transforma en un centro vibrante de actividad y oportunidades, y estamos entusiasmados por el impacto que tendrá en nuestros residentes, empresarios y comercios locales”.

Diseñado por SITIO Architecture + Urbanism, La Joya Gardens revitaliza una cuadra entera de la ciudad a lo largo de W. Vernor Highway que había permanecido vacía durante más de una década. El proyecto es parte del Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF), una asociación público-privada diseñada para apoyar proyectos impulsados ​​por la comunidad.

“La Joya Gardens es un ejemplo de lo que se puede lograr cuando las organizaciones públicas y privadas se unen con la comunidad para crear algo significativo”, dijo Christopher Laurent, presidente de Cinnaire Solutions, codesarrollador de La Joya Gardens. “Desde su nombre hasta su diseño, este proyecto refleja la voz de la gente del suroeste de Detroit y su visión de un vecindario próspero e inclusivo”. Los residentes contribuyeron con el nombre, diseño y comodidades del proyecto.

La ceremonia de inauguración contó con las palabras del equipo de desarrollo, los financiadores y los líderes de la comunidad, entre ellos el alcalde Mike Duggan, de la ciudad de Detroit; Tonia Patino y Laura Chávez-Wazeerud-Din, de SDBA; Christopher Laurent, de Cinnaire Solutions; la presidenta del consejo, Mary Sheffield, y el miembro del consejo, Fred Durhall, Jr., de la ciudad de Detroit; Amy Hovey, de MSHDA; Maureen Icke-Anway, de Invest Detroit, Arthur Jemison, de la Comisión de Vivienda de Detroit, y otros.

Una joya en el suroeste de Detroit

La Joya, ofrece 47 apartamentos de una habitación y 6 de dos habitaciones, un espacio comunitario flexible de 140 metros cuadrados y una plaza comercial con jardín. Cuatro espacios comerciales frente a la calle y una cafetería de 46 metros cuadrados, que brinda oportunidades para las pequeñas empresas y mejoran la vitalidad de la zona.

Cafe Clark, el primer establecimiento minorista de La Joya Gardens, es una acogedora cafetería dirigida por Meli y Eduardo Salas, residentes del suroeste de Detroit. El café, que aprovecha sus profundas raíces en el barrio y su herencia mexicana, ofrece un menú de café tradicional, desayunos ligeros y una selección de almuerzos que incluye bocadillos, ensaladas, sándwiches y los platos favoritos de otros negocios locales.

Financiación y socios

“El apoyo a La Joya Gardens es un ejemplo perfecto de nuestras prioridades en MSHDA”, dijo Amy Hovey, jefa y directora ejecutiva de MSHDA. “Estamos orgullosos de financiar y apoyar el desarrollo en Detroit y en todo el estado, que amplía el acceso a viviendas asequibles y empoderan a las personas y familias a prosperar en los vecindarios que eligen”.

La Joya Gardens es el último proyecto respaldado por el Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF), una asociación entre la ciudad de Detroit, Invest Detroit, los residentes del vecindario y los donantes corporativos. SNF financia proyectos impulsados ​​por la comunidad, comenzando con la opinión de los residentes. SNF, con la ayuda de PNC Bank, financió el proceso de participación comunitaria para el proyecto y proporcionó $1,6 millones en fondos, que respaldan la gran asequibilidad de las unidades.

“A través del Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF) y gracias a los fondos y el apoyo de socios como PNC Bank, pudimos amplificar la voz de más de 200 residentes locales, lo que nos permitió garantizar que sus ideas y aspiraciones moldearan cada aspecto de este desarrollo”, dijo Maureen Icke-Anway, vicepresidenta sénior de Impact, Invest Detroit. “Más de $30,000 en fondos de subvención respaldaron estos sólidos esfuerzos de participación comunitaria, que incluyeron encuestas puerta a puerta y la celebración de reuniones con residentes en espacios comunitarios locales como Armando’s Mexican Restaurant y First Latin American Baptist Church”.

Los desarrolladores Southwest Detroit y Cinnaire Solutions se asociaron con O’Brien Construction como contratistas generales, 511 Design y w/Purpose para la representación de los propietarios y Mission Lift, Congress of Communities y LA SED para la participación comunitaria.

La importancia del nuevo proyecto de vivienda y comercio minorista en el suroeste de Detroit fue resumida por Mary Carmen Muñoz, directora ejecutiva de LA SED. “Asistir a la inauguración de La Joya Gardens fue una celebración de muchos años de trabajo por parte de SDBA, la ciudad de Detroit, MSHDA y otros para traer viviendas modernas y asequibles a nuestra comunidad. A medida que la población de Detroit continúa creciendo, también lo hace la necesidad de viviendas asequibles para los residentes. Como vecino más cercano de La Joya y la agencia de defensa más antigua del suroeste de Detroit, LA SED le da la bienvenida a La Joya al vecindario y espera que este sea el comienzo de más opciones de viviendas asequibles para nuestra comunidad”, agregó Muñoz.
