Dan Gilbert’s Bedrock Management Services LLC and three other companies, including two national real estate developers, are part of a joint venture that has been selected to build a mixed-use development of primarily multifamily housing on about 25 acres of land in Eastern Market and around Brush Park on the site of the former Brewster-Douglass housing projects, the city of Detroit said Saturday.

When all is said and done, the multiple-phase project by Choice Detroit LLC is expected to include 900 to 1,000 units of housing ranging from low-income to market rate and costing approximately $267 million.

According to the city, in addition to Bedrock, the joint venture includes:

Columbia, Md.-based Enterprise Community Partners , a national developer with significant low-income housing experience;

, a national developer with significant low-income housing experience; KBK Enterprises , which has offices in Columbus, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pa;

, which has offices in Columbus, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pa; Novi-based Ginosko Development Co.

"This is the only team that brought together a national leader in affordable housing and two African-American developers, one Detroit-based, both experienced in affordable housing," James Arthur Jemison, the city’s director of housing and revitalization, said in a statement.

"This team will work with the city and the community to build a mixed-use development that will honor Brewster’s past and provide affordable housing for our future.”

Enterprise has since 1982 created nearly 340,000 homes and invested $18.6 billion nationwide.

The selection of the joint venture is one of the key steps in Detroit’s application for up to $30 million in federal grant financing from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Choice Housing Program. City Council must approve the city applying for the grant, applications for which are due next month.

There were six applicants in the request for qualifications process.

Approximately 30,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, as well as parking, is included, as are community health and education components.
