Un article succinct mais qui résume
parfaitement l’effervescence observée au nord du centre-ville
grâce aux 1,2 milliards de dollars d’investissement engagés. Entre la livraison de 1 700 logements, la construction du stade Arena, l'aménagement de
Woodward grâce au tramway Q-Line et le développement du
site Brewster-Douglass, ce périmètre de 6 km² offre un condensé de ce qu'il est possible de voir dans le cadre du renouveau de Detroit. Tout un symbole pour
cet ancien quartier historique et bourgeois de la Black Bottom qui renaît rapidement.

It would take about 45 minutes to circumambulate the area seeing over a billion dollars in investment in downtown Detroit right now.
News
broke over the weekend that the city of Detroit is trying to get a $267-million
mixed-use development off the ground. If all goes as planned, the development
group (which includes a Dan Gilbert company) would redevelop the site of the
former Brewster-Douglass projects and two parcels in Eastern Market.
Around
1,000 housing units and between 30,000 and 45,000 square feet of retail space
would be built.
In
the area bounded by Cass Avenue, Erskine Street, and the Chrysler and Fisher
Service Drives, there are multiple million-dollar projects bringing housing and
retail to the historic neighborhood.
Next
to Brewster-Douglass project, which is still in its early planning stages, the
Gilbert-affiliated Brush Park Development Company is in the initial phases of a
$70-million project near the Brewster-Douglass site, which will bring 400-units
of housing and new retail space through six multi-story apartment buildings, 17
townhomes, and multiple blocks of duplexes and carriage homes to the
neighborhood.
A
team also plans a $50-million redevelopment of the Brewster Wheeler Recreation
Center next to the Brewster-Douglass site. The 51,870-square-foot building will
house a restaurant and community center. When the project was announced in
2015, about 100 units of housing were supposed to accompany the development.
Closer
to Woodward, the Scott at Brush Park is in the middle of construction. It has a
$65-million price tag, and will hold 200 units of housing.
Across
Woodward Avenue, Little Caesars Arena is also in the middle of construction.
Expected to be complete by the start of the 2017 NHL season, the cost of the
arena and attached retail and restaurant space is currently $627-million.
That's
over $100 million more than what the rink was supposed to cost. The arena is in
Cass Corridor, but only a skip across Woodward Avenue puts you in Brush Park.
Most of the development listed here is in happening Brush Park, but the Brush
Park developers of late orient themselves with the new Red Wings arena.
There's
a sort of symbiosis going on between the two.
Add
to these Brush Park-area developments the $140-million M-1 Rail project, which
should be finished by the end of this year, and there's potentially
$1,219,000,000 pumping into an area that encompasses Brush Park and a chunk of
Cass Corridor.
