The New Detroit is a term used to discuss new, refurbished, or gentrified parts of the city of Detroit. New developments along the river, in the downtown, and on the east side have all prompted growth and wealth in the Motorcity.

Many more projects are in the process of planning/rendering and this is all helping bring back more residents to the city.

Historic Refurbishments

These multi-million dollar refurbishments are expected to be complete by 2008-2009 and more expected to add to the list.

Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel

Fort Shelby Hotel

These renovations are bringing back luxury hotels such as Hilton, Westin, Double-Tree, and four seasons along with the already established Marriot in the Renaissance Center. Many of these hotels have been out of the city for nearly three decades, but new growth and wealth is once again attracting them.

City Enhancements

Projects are happening all around Detroit to enhance landscaping, parks, plazas, and playgrounds.

-The Detroit International Riverfront has a newly constructed plaza and promenade of parks that stretch for 2-3 miles and includes miles of trees, fountains, and engraved slate.
