  • AN UPDATE of RESIDENTIAL MARKET POTENTIAL Greater Downtown Detroit and the Central Business District the City of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan May, 2017
    AN UPDATE OF RESIDENTIAL MARKET POTENTIAL Greater Downtown Detroit and the Central Business District The City of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan May, 2017 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this analysis is to update the depth and breadth of the potential market for new market- rate and affordable housing units within Greater Downtown Detroit, City of Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan. The most recent Downtown updates were published in April 2015, which included affordable as well as market-rate potential, and in May 2014, following the November 2010 update. The neighborhoods included within the Greater Downtown Detroit Study Area remain the same as those outlined in 2015, 2014 and 2010, encompassing the Central Business District, the neighborhoods of Corktown, Rivertown, Lafayette Park, Eastern Market, Midtown (including Cass Park, Brush Park, North Cass, Detroit Medical Center, Wayne State University, and Art Center), Woodbridge, TechTown, and New Center. The Central Business District is bounded by Interstate 75 to the north, Interstate 375 to the east, the Detroit River to the south, and the John C. Lodge Freeway to the west. The depth and breadth of the potential market for new housing units within the Greater Downtown Detroit Study Area have been updated using Zimmerman/Volk Associates’ proprietary target market methodology. The target market methodology is particularly effective in defining housing potential because it encompasses not only basic demographic characteristics, such as income qualification and age, but also less-frequently analyzed
