Mixed-use is the name of the game now for a large Corktown development site owned by an affiliate of Ford Motor Co.’s real estate arm.
Originally slated for a large new building geared toward office and research space, the site of a now-demolished former brass factory in the shadow of Michigan Central Station is now in the early phases of being reimagined. That’s according to Josh Sirefman, CEO of Michigan Central, the district anchored by Michigan Central Station, which opens in less than two months after years of construction.“We’d love to see over time, if there is an opportunity for additional commercial, but also opportunities for residential, whether that’s mixed income or whatever that may be,” Sirefman said in a meeting with Crain’s reporters and editors last month.
“It’s a great opportunity for that. We’re very early and we’ve got our hands full, so we’re just now turning our attention to what would be subsequent phases [[of Michigan Central) and start to really understand what that mix of uses might look like,” Sirefman said.
Dan Austin, director of communications for Michigan Central, said they are "actively studying mixed-use possibilities on the site and look forward to having conversations with the community about the future of the property."
