Globe Trading Company Building To Be Redeveloped

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the Globe Trading Company Building in River Town is to be redeveloped into a $15 million dollar residential and retail complex. Mark Wilcox, who has also renovated Rinnell Place Lofts and the Carola Building, will convert the 146 year old complex into 45 market-rate condominiums and 10,000 Sq. feet of retail space.


The National Park Service’s Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) project has produced these documents detailing the history of the building:

Hey, If you're interested in investing in Detroit, shoot me an email...I graduated with my degree in architecture from Chicago in May and came back to Detroit to do what I've been planning to since I was in middle school; partake in the regeneration of Detroit. Anyway, I found a job doing development and realty so I can probably help you out...
