Henry Street Apartments

Located in The District Detroit, the Henry Street development is a mixed-use, mixed-income community featuring six residential buildings and one shared building. Since all seven buildings are located on one block, Neumann/Smith wanted each project to feel connected to the next, fostering community gathering and togetherness.   To achieve this, Neumann/Smith Architecture conducted in-depth community engagement efforts to understand what users and stakeholders are seeking with this development. Another key part of this development is its affordability - it features affordable and market rate units funded by LIHTC (4% and 9%) and Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).   Due to the historic nature of these structures, Neumann/Smith worked with the City of Detroit Historic Commission, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and National Parks Service (NPS) over the course of this project. These apartments also fall into the Enterprise Green Communities category.
