The largest residential construction project in Detroit right now is Bedrock’s City Modern in Brush Park. While the development officially broke ground in November with the start of construction for a senior apartment building at John R and Alfred, we now have a better idea of what’s coming next and who will be living in them.

We stopped by the City Modern Presentation Center today, located on Edmund Street. The center is open to the public from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily (except Wednesdays) and has a large scale model of the neighborhood and 410 residential units underway. It also has an area where you can play around with the design on a computer, and choose different finishes for different rooms. We talked with both representatives of Bedrock and Hunter Pasteur Homes about the project.

The first phase of sales is underway, with nine townhomes and seven carriage houses sold thus far, and seven more units reserved that should be finalized in the next week. Located along Alfred, this section of townhomes and carriage houses will break ground in April, with an expected completion date of late this year or early next year. Phase Two of sales will come shortly after that.

Our of the units sold so far, seven of the buyers live in Brush Park and 13 work in downtown Detroit. From the fairly small sample size so far, they’ve had interest from single professionals, couples, and empty nesters.

The average price per square foot for the condos runs between $290-$315.

Carriage houses are priced between $423,690 and $645,860, with square footage between 1,460 and 2,005. They have options for 2-3 bedrooms with an attached garage. They also have a unique interior atrium, something you’re more likely to see in a commercial building, but it will allow more light into the homes. They’ll also have a European-type alley connecting the homes.

Townhouses will range between 1,835-2,680 square feet, and priced from $536,450 and $761,960+. They have two, three, and four bedroom options, and also include an attached garage.

Both condo options have terraces, balconies, and rooftop access.

Also in the works for this year - the three historic homes that will be restored. These are also located along Alfred Street, with the Ransom Gillis House on the corner of Alfred and John R.
