We care about our neighborhood and the importance of encouraging others to live here. As such, Wayne State is proud to join with the UCCA to promote the growth and development of Midtown. As one of the most culturally diverse urban institutions in the world, Wayne State is a jewel in the city of Detroit. Similarly, Wayne State’s Midtown neighborhood is a treasure of cultural and educational opportunities for local residents as well as WSU students, faculty, alumni and staff. WSU and the UCCA believe in promoting Midtown as a residential living destination to drive the expansion of retail, dining and entertainment establishments. Wayne State’s beautiful new residence halls are a shining example of how campus living can inspire those affiliated with the university to invest time, money and energy into the community. Such are the fruits borne by our transformation into a 24/7 university. This guide showcases Midtown and the beautiful housing options available here for ownership, as well as some for lease. A wide variety of apartments, condos and restored residences give people who enjoy an urban lifestyle a viable opportunity to embrace it. The developments include a range of units at varying price points, including town and carriage homes, luxury lofts and high-end historic restorations. All are within walking distance of the city’s museums and premier cultural, entertainment and sports facilities. In addition, living in Midtown has never been a more affordable or sound investment strategy. Midtown developers are offering incentives, enhanced further by tax breaks from the city. We invite you to examine the many exciting properties in this guide. They highlight the renaissance of the city of Detroit and the benefits of Midtown living … Detroit-style. Welcome to the neighborhood! Irvin D. Reid President, Wayne State University Susan T. Mosey President, University Cultural Center Association A Vibrant Neighborhood There is probably no neighborhood that has more to offer than Midtown. The area was once home to aviator Charles Lindberg and the Dodge Brothers, who tinkered in their garage to create their world-famous automobiles. Today, Midtown is a vibrant blend of history, luxury apartments, townhouses and lofts, and Detroit’s own Wayne State University, College for Creative Studies, the Detroit Medical Center and the University Cultural Center — all making this a very attractive place to be. Midtown hosts 2 million visitors annually, has a daytime population of over 50,000 and has the largest concentration of cultural, educational and medical institutions in Southeast Michigan. It has two radio stations, a symphony, three historic inns, 10 theatres, seven museums, 36 restaurants, 11 galleries, and a great local bakery. Located just north of the downtown Stadium and Theatre districts and adjacent to all the major freeways, Midtown provides easy access to great local attractions as well as to Detroit’s suburban communities. 5 55 West Canfield 55 West Canfield Contact Information Sabra Sanzotta (313) 832-LOFT E-mail: sabra@ theloftwarehouse.com www.55westcanfield.com Pricing $150,000-$215,000 Sizes 800-1,000 square feet 55 West Canfield is an urban redevelopment with 30 authentic, residential loft condos.
