2987 Franklin St

A converted industrial loft complex in Detroit’s Rivertown district, the property combines historic warehouse bones with large-scale residential conversions. Built in 1943 and renovated into multi-unit lofts, the building offers a mix of one-bedroom and four-bedroom residences arranged across expansive floor plates. Architectural character shows through oversized factory windows, high (approximately 12-foot) ceilings, exposed structural elements, reclaimed-wood and concrete flooring, and occasional original brickwork. Individual units range from compact urban one-bedrooms with efficient kitchens to sprawling customizable penthouse lofts with private entrances and direct elevator access. Interior provisions include modern mechanical upgrades such as tankless water heaters, programmable thermostats, high-speed internet availability, and integrated sound systems; many units feature wet bars, sizeable walk-in closets, and in-unit laundry. Exterior and shared elements focus on urban outdoor living: multiple rooftop terraces (common and private deck options), balconies, gated secured parking, permeable paving and maintained grounds. Building services emphasize secure access—keyless entry and security cameras—plus storage and elevator access. The location is highly walkable: immediate proximity to the Detroit Riverwalk, Dequindre Cut, Eastern Market, Belle Isle and riverside parks, positioning the building for both active urban recreation and downtown connectivity.
