Today, #BrushPark is experiencing a renaissance, with many home and building restoration projects and new residents, businesses, restaurants and bars breathing new life into this once-thriving area. Leading that charge is #CityModern – a transformative residential development led by Hunter Pasteur and Bedrock Detroit. Spanning eight acres, it blends over 400 new and restored residential units, including townhomes, duplexes, and apartments, to meet housing demand while preserving historic architecture and revitalizing the urban core.
