The Changing Landscape of Southwest Detroit

EL CENTRAL by EL CENTRAL
January 5, 2024

Español Abajo

Significant changes are coming to the landscape of Southwest Detroit in 2024. Hundreds of new housing units and prime commercial spaces are expected to hit the market this coming year. In all, more than 500 residential units are currently under construction in Zip Codes 48209, 48210 and 48216 and of these, one third (at least 167) will be priced at below market rates (30-80% AMI). The balance of the units are considered market rate and those will help accommodate the influx of new residents expected as a result of large development projects like Michigan Central opening this year.

Many of the projects currently under construction date back to comprehensive community engagement planning efforts sponsored by the City of Detroit dating back years ago, including the West Vernor Corridor Neighborhood Framework (May 2018) and the Greater Corktown Neighborhood Framework (November 2020). Those Framework plans were months in the making and engaged hundreds of residents and representatives of local businesses and organizations to envision residential, commercial and public spaces to be developed over the following years. The pandemic halted or stalled many projects but work has resumed and the evidence of development can now be seen from one end of Southwest Detroit to the other.

In 2018, the City of Detroit Housing and Revitalization Department set long-range goals of preserving (i.e., rehabbing) 10,000 units and building 2,000 new affordable units by the year 2023. According to the department’s most recent reporting, since 2018, partnerships between the City and private developers have preserved 9,500 units and constructed 2,000 units of new, affordable housing. Housing advocates argue that increasing the supply of decent, affordable housing is the most effective way to meet demand and keep the prices for housing as affordable as possible in the city.

While federal Fair Housing regulations do not allow for any preferential treatment of applicants based on their proximity to or history with the project sites, EL CENTRAL will keep our readers informed as leasing information is released by the developers. Persons interested in applying for any of the residential units are encouraged to respond promptly when leasing information is made available.

Starting with this issue, EL CENTRAL is launching an ongoing series which will highlight the community development projects that are currently under construction in Southwest Detroit. We’ll begin with a sampling of large-scale (over $3 million total development costs) residential and “mixed-use” projects along with the most impactful infrastructure project to come along in decades: The Gordie Howe International Bridge which is projected to open to cross border traffic in late 2024 or early 2025.

Future installments of our development series will focus on multiple projects under construction in Corktown, followed by a look at “developable parcels” that are prime sites for future development projects and the once proud but now vacant buildings that blight our community – often owned by speculators — with no realistic plans for redevelopment.

Lastly, we want to hear from you, our faithful readers, about smaller but no less impactful redevelopment projects that you are undertaking to transform other properties in Southwest Detroit. To let us know about your project, write us at info@elecentralmedia.com.

Gordie Howe International Bridge Project

Developer: Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority/Bridging North America 

Total Development Cost: $6.4 billion CDN $4.8 billion USD

Project Type:  Public-Private Partnership

This international crossing is the largest and most ambitious binational infrastructure project along the Canada–United States border. It includes a new six-lane bridge across the Detroit River, associated border inspection plazas, and connections to the freeway systems in Ontario and Michigan. This project will provide a new alternative crossing for this vital trade corridor.

2023 marked the busiest year of construction on the project. Work on all four components of the project is being conducted simultaneously: Canada and US Points of Entry, the Michigan I-75 Interchange, and the bridge itself. 

Activity over the past year has focused on completion of the towers on both sides of the border along with construction of the back span and deck of the bridge. Now complete, the towers stand at 220 metres (722 feet) in height. Work continues on the other components of the project including, the Canadian and US Ports of Entry and the Michigan Interchange. Currently work on all buildings located within the Ports of Entry is well underway along with construction on the structures such as toll canopies and inspection lanes. On the Michigan Interchange, work on the five pedestrian bridges as well as connecting ramps continues.

 Information about opportunities for local contractors can be found by visiting the project website at https://www.gordiehoweinternationalbridge.com/en/work-with-bna.  

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is forever changing the shared skyline between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan, as can be seen with the towers clearly visible at key vantage points throughout the region. The Canadian tower is the tallest structure in the city of Windsor, while the US tower rivals the height of Detroit’s tallest building, the 73-story center tower of the GM Renaissance Center. 

EL CENTRAL readers can visit the project website www.gordiehoweinternationalbridge.com to stay up-to-date on this massive project’s progress and follow on social media where the GHIB/WDBA shares regular updates and images from the construction site. 

This article has been edited to reflect new information released by the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority on January 4, 2024 when it was announced that the opening of the bridge will be delayed until September 2025 due to “unprecedented disruptions” caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

La Joya Gardens

Developer: Cinnaire Solutions Corporation with Southwest Detroit Business Association

Total Development Cost: $24 Million 

Project Type:  Mixed-Use & Mixed-Income

La Joya Gardens is located at 4000 W. Vernor Hwy. at Hubbard St. one block east of Clark Park. The development includes a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments for a total of 53 units. 42 of the units will be affordable to households earning between 30% and 80% of area median income (AMI) and the remaining 11 units will be available to those earning above 80% AMI. Construction is currently in the structural framing phase with top out of the highest floor expected to occur early in the new year.  Project completion is projected in or around September of 2024.

The development team is working with prospective commercial tenants to occupy the retail spaces on the ground floor, but there is nothing to announce yet. They are looking for businesses that will positively contribute to the Southwest Detroit neighborhood by providing needed services and amenities for residents and visitors alike. One 1,500 sq. ft. retail space will be set aside for entrepreneurs who do not yet have a brick and mortar location. The space will be shared by approximately three different businesses who will use the physical space to test out their goods, products and services. Interested businesses for the commercial spaces can reach out to Greg Mangan at SDBA at 313-283-6533 or gregm@southwestdetroit.com

Residential leasing will begin in the spring of 2024.

The development team and general contractor O’Brien Construction are working with SER-Metro-Detroit and their YouthBuild team members. These young adults are working alongside some of the contractors at La Joya Gardens to learn hands-on skilled trades. 

The Brooke on Bagley

Developer: Woodborn Partners

Total Development Cost: $23 Million

Project Type:  Mixed-use, mixed-income apartment building with
residential, retail and parking

The Brooke on Bagley is a four-story, mixed-use, mixed-income apartment complex located at 2420 Bagley at 16th St. behind Michign Central and across from the popular Honey Bee Market. The development features 78 units including 16 units that will be available to renters at 80% AMI and below. The complex will also include nearly 2,000 square feet of retail, EV charging stations, access to a conference room for community organizations and plenty of in-unit and common area amenities.

Construction is well underway and completion is expected in May 2024. The development team will soon be hiring property management professionals including a property manager and porter and a coffee shop is currently planned among other retailers on site. 

Residential lease applications will open in January with move-ins planned for May 2024. For more information, EL CENTRAL readers can visit www.thebrookedetroit.com, email thebrooke@woodborn.com or call 313-572-1453

El transformado paisaje del Suroeste de Detroit

Cambios significativos en el paisaje del suroeste de Detroit se aproximan este 2024. Se espera que cientos de nuevas viviendas y espacios comerciales de primera, lleguen al mercado. En total, se están construyendo más de 500 unidades residenciales en los códigos postales 48209, 48210 y 48216 y de ellas, un tercio (al menos 167) tendrán un precio inferior al del mercado (30-80 % del AMI). El resto de las unidades se considera a precio de mercado y ayudarán a acomodar la afluencia de nuevos residentes que se espera como resultado de grandes proyectos de desarrollo como la apertura de Michigan Central este año.

Muchos de los proyectos actualmente en construcción, se remontan a esfuerzos integrales de planificación de participación comunitaria, patrocinados por la ciudad de Detroit que datan de hace años, incluido el Marco Vecinal del Corredor West Vernor (mayo de 2018) y el Marco Vecinal del Gran Corktown (noviembre de 2020). Esos planes tardaron meses en elaborarse e involucraron a cientos de residentes y representantes de empresas y organizaciones locales para visionar esos espacios residenciales, comerciales y públicos que se desarrollarían durante los siguientes años. La pandemia detuvo o paralizó muchos proyectos, pero el trabajo se reanudó y ahora se pueden ver pruebas del desarrollo de un extremo al otro del suroeste de Detroit.

En 2018, el Departamento de Vivienda y Revitalización de la ciudad de Detroit estableció objetivos a largo plazo de preservar (es decir, rehabilitar) 10.000 unidades y construir 2.000 nuevas asequibles para el año 2023. Según el informe más reciente del departamento, desde 2018, las asociaciones entre los promotores municipales y privados han conservado 9.500 unidades y construido 2.000 unidades de viviendas nuevas y asequibles. Los defensores de la vivienda argumentan que aumentar la oferta de viviendas decentes y asequibles es la forma más eficaz de satisfacer la demanda y mantener los precios de las viviendas lo más asequible posible.

Si bien las regulaciones federales de Vivienda Justa no permiten ningún trato preferencial a los solicitantes, en función de su proximidad o historial con los sitios del proyecto, EL CENTRAL mantendrá informados a nuestros lectores a medida que los desarrolladores publiquen información sobre el arrendamiento. Se anima a las personas interesadas en solicitar cualquiera de las unidades residenciales a responder con prontitud cuando la información sobre el arrendamiento esté disponible.

A partir de esta edición, EL CENTRAL lanza una serie continua que destacará los proyectos de desarrollo comunitario que actualmente se encuentran en construcción en el Suroeste de Detroit. Comenzaremos con una muestra de proyectos residenciales y de “uso mixto” a gran escala (más de $3 millones de costos totales de desarrollo) junto con el proyecto de infraestructura de mayor impacto en décadas: el Puente Internacional Gordie Howe, que se proyecta inaugurar en el cruce de la frontera, a finales de 2024 o principios de 2025.

Las futuras entregas de nuestra serie de desarrollo se centrarán en múltiples proyectos de construcción en Corktown, seguidas de una mirada a las “parcelas urbanizables” que son sitios privilegiados para futuros proyectos de desarrollo y los edificios que alguna vez fueron un orgullo, pero ahora están vacíos y que arruinan nuestra comunidad, usual propiedad de especuladores. — sin planes realistas de reurbanización.

Por último, queremos saber de ustedes, nuestros fieles lectores, sobre proyectos de reurbanización más pequeños, pero no menos impactantes, que estén llevándose a cabo para transformar otras propiedades en el suroeste de Detroit. Para informarnos sobre su proyecto, escríbanos a info@elecentralmedia.com.

Gordie Howe International Bridge Project

Desarrolladores: Autoridad del Puente Windsor-Detroit/ Bridging North America

Costo total de desarrollo: $6.4 mil millones CDN $4.8 mil millones USD

Tipo de Proyecto: Asociación Público-Privada

El presente cruce internacional es el proyecto de infraestructura binacional más grande y ambicioso a lo largo de la frontera entre Canadá y Estados Unidos, que incluye un nuevo puente de seis carriles sobre el río Detroit, plazas de inspección fronteriza asociadas y conexiones a los sistemas de autopistas de Ontario y Michigan. Este proyecto proporcionará un nuevo cruce alternativo para este corredor comercial vital.

El 2023 marcó el año de mayor actividad en la construcción del proyecto. El trabajo en los cuatro componentes del proyecto se está llevando a cabo simultáneamente: los puntos de entrada de Canadá y EE. UU., el cruce de la I-75 de Michigan y el puente mismo.

El pasado año el proyecto se centró en la finalización de las torres a ambos lados de la frontera, junto con la construcción del tramo posterior y la plataforma del puente. Ahora completadas, las torres tienen 220 metros (722 pies) de altura. El trabajo continúa en los otros componentes del proyecto, incluidos los puertos de entrada de Canadá y Estados Unidos y el intercambio de Michigan. Actualmente, el trabajo en todos los edificios ubicados dentro de los puertos de entrada está en marcha junto con la construcción de estructuras como marquesinas de peaje y carriles de inspección. En el cruce de Michigan, continúan los trabajos en los cinco puentes peatonales y en las rampas de conexión.

  Puede encontrar información sobre oportunidades para contratistas locales visitando el sitio web del proyecto en https://www.gordiehoweinternationalbridge.com/en/work-with-bna.

El Puente Internacional Gordie Howe está cambiando para siempre el horizonte compartido entre Windsor, Ontario y Detroit, Michigan; cómo se puede observar con las torres, en los puntos estratégicos claves de toda la región. La torre canadiense es la estructura más alta de la ciudad de Windsor, mientras que la torre estadounidense rivaliza en altura con el edificio más alto de Detroit: la torre central de 73 pisos del GM Renaissance Center.

Los lectores de EL CENTRAL pueden visitar el sitio web del proyecto www.gordiehoweinternationalbridge.com para mantenerse actualizado sobre el progreso de este enorme proyecto y seguirlo en las redes sociales donde GHIB/WDBA comparte actualizaciones e imágenes periódicas del sitio de construcción.

La Joya Gardens

Desarrolladores: Cinnaire Solutions Corporation
con la Asociación Empresarial del Suroeste de Detroit

Costo total de desarrollo: $24 millones

Tipo de proyecto: uso mixto e ingresos mixtos

La Joya Gardens está ubicado en 4000 W. Vernor Hwy. en la calle Hubbard , una cuadra al este del parque Clark. El desarrollo incluye una combinación de apartamentos de una y dos habitaciones con un total de 53 unidades, 42 de ellas, asequibles para hogares que ganen entre el 30% y el 80% del ingreso medio del área (AMI) y las 11 restantes estarán disponibles para quienes ganen más del 80% del AMI. La construcción se encuentra actualmente en la fase estructural y se espera que la finalización del piso más alto se lleve a cabo a principios del año nuevo y la finalización del proyecto se prevé para alrededor de septiembre de 2024.

El equipo está trabajando con posibles inquilinos, para ocupar los espacios comerciales en la planta baja, pero aún no hay nada que anunciar. Se buscan negocios que contribuyan positivamente al vecindario del suroeste de Detroit brindando servicios y comodidades necesarias tanto para los residentes como para los visitantes. Se reservará un espacio comercial de 1,500 pies cuadrados para empresarios que aún no tienen una ubicación física. El espacio será compartido por aproximadamente tres empresas diferentes que utilizarán el espacio físico para probar sus bienes, productos y servicios. Las empresas interesadas en los espacios comerciales pueden comunicarse con Greg Mangan en SDBA al 313-283-6533 o gregm@southwestdetroit.com.

El arrendamiento residencial comenzará en la primavera de 2024.

El equipo de desarrollo y el contratista general O’Brien Construction están trabajando con SER-Metro-Detroit y los miembros de su equipo YouthBuild. Estos jóvenes adultos están trabajando junto con algunos de los contratistas de La Joya Gardens para aprender oficios prácticos.
