Bedrock Completes Detroit Ground-Up Neighborhood

by Lynn Peisner

DETROIT — Bedrock has completed City Modern, a concentration of 20 newly constructed buildings, three rehabbed historic mansions, neighborhood amenities and 31,000 square feet of retail space in Detroit’s Brush Park neighborhood. The new 8-acre neighborhood includes 450 residences in a mix of apartments, townhomes, carriage homes and condominiums. The Detroit-based master developer began the project in 2015.

Six architects worked on City Modern: Hamilton Anderson Associates, Merge Architects, Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects, Studio Dwell, McIntosh Poris Architects and Christian Hurttienne.

Housing includes The Residences at City Modern, which offers 286 rental units across eight buildings, all of which feature open floor plans and amenities including rooftop terraces, a fitness center and gathering spaces. 

The Carriage Homes at City Modern, developed and built by Hunter Pasteur, offer 53 newly constructed, duplex-style homes with shared courtyards. 

Townhomes at City Modern, also built by Hunter Pasteur, are made up of 52 for-sale units, designed by Studio Dwell Architects in collaboration with Hamilton Anderson Associates.

Bedrock also preserved three historic Victorian-era mansions, redeveloping them into five condominiums.

Retail tenants include Brushery, a locally owned dental practice, Brush Park Bodega, and Lena, a Spanish restaurant.
