Detroit’s Core City Project Breathes New Life Into Buildings and Land

The Core City neighborhood, located west of Woodbridge and about 2 miles from downtown, is one of the most unique real estate projects in the city and the state. It currently spreads across six existing commercial buildings, 10 recently built Quonset hut apartments, plus one large Quonset hut split into eight live-work space. It will be expanding early next year to include more housing. The old commercial buildings are filled with office and retail tenants. The buildings surround a new public space park filled with shade trees and artwork. The Core City project is the brain child of developer Philip Kafka and his real estate company, Prince Concepts.
