by Kristin Harlow

DETROIT — Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood is set to receive three new mixed-income housing developments: Bagley Townhomes & Flats, West of 10th Apartments and Trumbull Apartments. Together, the three projects will bring 188 new residential units, including more than 150 affordable homes supported through the city by a portion of Detroit’s $35 million federal Choice Neighborhoods Implementation (CNI) grant. Fifth Third Bank (formerly Comerica Bank) and Citizens Bank are also providing funding for the developments, which are part of the ongoing redevelopment of the former Clement Kern Gardens site. American Community Developers Inc. is leading development of all three projects, which collectively represent nearly $84 million in total investment. Located just west of downtown Detroit, Corktown has long served as a gateway community for generations of immigrants and working-class families. Originally settled by Irish immigrants in the mid-1800s, the neighborhood became known for its close-knit residential blocks and historic row houses. In recent years, Corktown has experienced significant redevelopment activity, driven by public and private investment surrounding Michigan Central, Roosevelt Park and the broader southwest Detroit corridor. The City of Detroit was awarded a $35 million CNI grant in May 2021 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. …
