DETROIT — Bedrock has completed City Modern in Detroit’s Brush Park neighborhood. The project adds 20 newly constructed buildings, along with the rehabilitation of three historic mansions into five homes, providing a total of 450 new residences to the area. The mixed-income development features apartments, townhomes, carriage homes, condominiums and 31,000 square feet of retail space.
Bedrock worked with six architectural firms on the project — Hamilton Anderson Associates, Merge Architects, Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects, Studio Dwell, McIntosh Poris Architects and Christian Hurttienne.
The Residences at City Modern offers 286 rental units across eight buildings. Amenities include rooftop terraces, a fitness center and gathering spaces.
The Flats at City Modern is an affordable housing community with 54 units reserved for residents age 55 and older. Opened in 2019, The Flats features a rooftop terrace, fitness space and community lounge.
The Carriage Homes at City Modern, developed and built by Hunter Pasteur, provides 53 units. Merge Architects reimagined the traditional carriage house into a duplex-style home with shared courtyards.
Hunter Pasteur’s Townhomes at City Modern includes 52 for-sale units. The multi-level residences feature two- to four-bedroom floor plans.
Additionally, Bedrock preserved three historic Victorian-era mansions, transforming them into five homes that were converted into condominiums.
Tenants of the retail space include Brushery, a locally owned, advanced dental practice; Brush Park Bodega, a corner café, bar and market; and Leña, a neighborhood eatery with cuisine from Spain.
When Bedrock began the City Modern project in 2015, more than 80 percent of Brush Park’s physical lots were empty.
