A Proposed 50-Unit Mixed-Affordability Development in Detroit's Islandview / Greater Villages Corridor — District 5
The Harmon ReDevelopment Group is proposing a new 50-unit mixed-affordability, mixed-use development at 7600 Mack Avenue in Detroit's Islandview / Greater Villages neighborhood — a City-designated Strategic Neighborhood Fund priority area in District 5. This project represents a transformative opportunity to bring deeply affordable housing, neighborhood-serving commercial space, and wraparound resident services to one of Detroit's most historically significant east side corridors.
The development will serve households earning between 30% and 60% of Area Median Income, with a family-focused unit mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments. Fifteen units will be set aside for households at 30% AMI — the deepest level of affordability — ensuring the project reaches those most in need of stable, quality housing in the Islandview corridor. Ten units will be fully ADA Type A accessible, supporting residents with mobility needs.
Ground-floor commercial space supporting local business and neighborhood services. Playground and outdoor community gathering space. Community meeting rooms available for neighborhood use. Resident services open to both residents and neighbors — including housing stabilization, workforce readiness, financial literacy, and health education.
