New Mixed-use Apartment Building Coming to Midtown Detroit

A new mixed-use apartment building at Second Avenue and Brainard Street in Midtown Detroit will offer 57 apartments and 3,500 square feet of commercial space. The project team includes general contractor The Monahan Company.

Built on three vacant lots, the developer, Greatwater Opportunity Capital, recently completed the renovation of an adjacent 45-unitapartment building. Both projects are located just north of Cass Technical High School.

Twenty percent of the units are earmarked at below-market rents for eligible applicants earning less than 80 percent of the area’s medianincome (AMI). Rental rates will be provided in the coming months. This project will add in-demand attainable housing plus retail jobs to the neighborhood.
