Detroit Developers Move Beyond the CBD

Apartments in Midtown’s new development range in size from 450 to 1,380 square feet of space, and residents have access to many amenities.

DETROIT—This city’s core has attracted a lot of attention lately, as developers created thousands of new housing units for its many new office workers, and robust demand has kept residential vacancy rates hovering just above zero for years. But officials from Broder & Sachse Real Estate have just opened the doors at The Scott at Brush Park, a high-end mixed-use development on Woodward Ave. and Erskine St. in Detroit’s Midtown area, the first of its kind in the city, and many here hope it’s the start of something big for the neighborhoods surrounding the CBD.

The company’s chief executive officer Richard Broder and Sachse Construction chief executive officer Todd Sachse welcomed the community to The Scott, which features 199 residential units and five retail and restaurant tenants, during a grand opening celebration on Tuesday, Dec. 13.
