Since 1993, Fisher Body Plant No. 21 at 6051 Hastings St. near Interstate 75 and I-94, has sat empty -- a sad, decaying reminder of better days.
Now, two local developers are in the early stages of a $154.6 million factory-to-housing conversion, perhaps one of the more ambititious ones attempted in Detroit, writes Detroit Free Press reporter JC Reindl. It's less than three miles from the old Packard Plant.
Gregory Jackson and Richard Hosey, who both grew up in Detroit, plan to transform the six-story concrete and steel frame building into 433 mostly upmarket apartments, the Freep reports.
