Located at 2001 Park Avenue at West Adams Avenue in Grand Circus Park, the 104,500ft² building was part of Park Avenue Association and first designed by Albert Kahn in 1922.

As part of the deal, the company will transform the former office building into a mixed-use project with upscale and refined apartment residences, reported media sources.

“Our team has the right expertise and innovation to bring new life to this nearly century-old building.”

These apartment residences will be designed above 5,000ft² of first-floor retail and KDG’s design is expected to include façade and fire escape rehabilitation, as well as stabilise neglected historic elements of the building.

Along with the company’s team, senior project architect Laura Cunningham will work in partnership with developer and Michigan-based Infinity Homes owner Rino Soave, who acquired the building in April.

“For more than 20 years, we have played a role in the historic preservation of buildings that have been essential to Detroit’s revitalisation, and our team has the right expertise and innovation to bring new life to this nearly century-old building.”
