Lafayette Park in Detroit is about to get an infusion of new apartments.
Architects McIntosh Poris Associates and long-time Detroit developer Walter Cohen have secured financing to start construction this fall on a four-building, 185-unit apartment development on the spot where Rochdale Court Apartments, a senior living center demolished in 2002, once sat, Model D reports.
A late 2015 opening is expected for the apartments at 1544 E. Lafayette, which will be named DuCharme Place, Model D reports. The development will offer studios and one and two bedrooms.
MJ Galbraith of Model D writes:
The team began planning DuCharme Place in 2004. The original town home design was scratched, however, when the housing market dropped out during the recent recession. The team revisited the development in 2012, this time with a completely new design.
