For sale, again: Historic Herman Kiefer grounds plus 38 acres of northwest Detroit

DETROIT — The historic former Herman Kiefer hospital in northwest Detroit, along with two former public schools and a number of vacant homes and lots, will be up for sale soon, marking the latest chapter in the years-long effort to revive the former medical site. The Detroit City Council on Nov. 10 agreed to put the properties up for sale as part of a legal settlement between the city and the private developer who tried to find new use for the buildings and land but failed. Entities controlled by Ron Castellano had development rights for the Herman Kiefer complex, plus two vacant schools, and a former nursing school, since 2016. Then in 2017, he gained the option to buy from the Detroit Land Bank Authority 117 empty homes and more than 300 vacant parcels near the facility. The total amount of square footage of the buildings involved amounts to more than 755,500 square feet, according to city documents. That's more square footage than the Michigan Central Station in Corktown and rivals in size the indoor space at Little Caesars Arena. Castellano contended in previous interviews with The Detroit News that the city undermined his plans to rehabilitate the former hospital

Major Detroit retail center anchored by Meijer hits the market

A major shopping center at the intersection of Woodward Avenue and Eight Mile in Detroit is up for sale. The 134,585-square-foot retail property at Gateway Marketplace includes tenants such as K&G Fashion Superstore, Planet Fitness and Five Below. The nearby, nearly 200,000-square-foot Meijer superstore that anchors the shopping center is not included in the sale, according to the online listing by Mid-America Real Estate. No asking price is publicly listed. The shopping center opened in 2013 on part of the former location of the Michigan State Fairgrounds, at the city's border with Ferndale. The property is listed as 98.9% occupied. The offering includes five outparcels: ground leases occupied by McDonald's, Applebee's, PNC Bank and AutoZone, as well as a multi-tenant specialty retail building, according to Mid-America Real Estate. Other stores on the property include a Starbucks and Marshalls. The area at Woodward and Eight Mile served as the permanent home of the Michigan State Fair from 1905 through 2009, when the state discontinued the fair at the Detroit grounds after withdrawing funding amid budget problems, and the property closed. The Meijer store opened in 2013 while the rest of the site remained mostly desolate and pocked with empty buildings into

Detroit Land Bank must stop standing in the way of homeownership | Thompson

Imagine standing before a vacant house you have dreamed of owning. The windows are boarded. The grass has overtaken the walkway. Nobody lives there. You have the determination to restore it, the willingness to invest your savings and the desire to make it your home. But there is one problem. The government holds the keys. And the door remains locked. That image captures a troubling contradiction in Detroit, where residents seeking to restore abandoned properties and build a future through homeownership have sometimes found themselves confronting the very institution entrusted with helping revive their neighborhoods. The most basic responsibility of government is to provide relief, not manufacture additional hardship. RELATED: Sheffield unveils reforms for Detroit Land Bank after years of criticism That principle should guide Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield's newly announced reforms of the troubled Detroit Land Bank Authority, an institution whose operations have generated years of frustration among residents seeking to purchase vacant houses, acquire neighborhood lots and rehabilitate properties. I have heard those frustrations repeatedly from Detroiters over the years in interviews and at town hall meetings. People who wanted to invest in their neighborhoods, reclaim abandoned property and become homeowners instead described a process that often seemed
