FD Lofts at Eastern Market

050509- FD Lofts016.jpg Residents of FD Lofts live in one of the most unique neighborhoods in Detroit. They are yards away from the heart of Eastern Market, the six-block public market that has been feeding Detroit since 1891. Each Saturday, there are approximately 250 independent vendors selling a variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers, specialty foods and grass-fed meats.

Even when the market closes, our residents still find plenty to do around Eastern Market. They eat breakfast at Zef's, grab pizza from Supino's, pick up wine from Cost Plus and shop for art at Art Effect Gallery.

Our office tenants enjoy the neighborhood as well. If they are looking for a casual business lunch, Sala Thai is in our building. For a more formal business lunch, Roma Cafe is less than a block away. If they are looking for a great sandwich with friends, you will find them at Russell Street Deli.

This is a neighborhood that is always active, and we have the space for you to work or play in the heart of it all.

History

050509- FD Lofts262.jpg The FD Lofts at Eastern Market are the signature redevelopment project of Urban Life Development. Completed in 2007, this National Register Historic Building features 30 distinctive mixed-use lofts.

The FD Lofts are rich in Detroit history. Originally the site of the the Fire Department's horse hospital, training track and stables, horses for all the City's fire stations were trained and cared for here. The building itself was constructed in 1917 as part of the department's transition from horse-drawn to motorized vehicles.

After years of neglect, a new life began for the building in 2004. Today, the FD Lofts have been painstakingly rehabilitated and showcase the building's historic charm and original industrial character.

FD Lofts is a terrific historic building with all the modern amenities and technology. Stainless steel kitchen, beautiful natural light and 14 foot ceilings. I couldn't have picked a better location for my business. Eric Longs, Executive Producer Eclipse Creative
