Fisher Body 21

The Developer (‘Fisher Lofts 21, LLC’), which consists of Jackson Asset Management, Lewand Development, and Hosey Development is seeking to rehabilitate the Fisher Body Plant 21. Originally built in 1919, the Fisher Body Plant 21 is a 600,000 square feet former auto plant on a 4.7 acre parcel of land owned by the City of Detroit. The former auto body plant has been vacant since 1993 and is located at 6051 Hastings Street. The existing structure is proposed to be preserved and redeveloped into approximately 435 rental apartments; 38,000 square feet of commercial space; outdoor and indoor amenities; and up to 139 interior and 646 adjacent surface parking spaces. At least 20% of rental units will be affordable to those earning no more than 80% of Area Median Income ($51,200 or less for a two-person household). Units will range in size from 490SF to 1,040SF and will include a mix of studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, and loft units. Proposed commercial uses include a ground-level market / food hall, café, a second-floor co-working space, plus residential amenities such as internal courtyard / atrium, fitness center, swimming pool, bicycle parking, and rooftop terrace.

The 2023 Fisher Body Plant 21 Annual Update took place on Thursday, December 14th, 2023
