Watermark, Detroit

[lshawtay]

this should happen!!!!!!!

I wish I knew how to post a pic of the Watermark Model / Welcoming center abandoned and covered in Weeds.

My friend has been forced to short sell his luxury loft just a mile from here. If the existing high end housing won't sell, why build more?

[rogerstrlg]

The watermark never happened. In Detroit it is impossible to sell condos on a mass scale ranging from 350k to 1mil after the death of the auto-era. What could possibly work is a mixed development project that houses a more diverse socioeconomic group. There simply just aren't enough people who can afford that standard of living, who also want to live in Detroit.

@rogerstrlg i think Dave Bing should focus on bringing back detroit instead of building condos that people can afford to buy.

Condos from $350,000-Million in Detroit? Oh please. Haha, there are plenty of expensive condos in downtown Detroit that are not being sold. What are these business men thinking? Most citizens in Michigan are losing their homes as a result of job loss. Most of the people in southeastern Michigan are in poverty. Good luck Bing!

[sweetheart2109]

@313michboi I don't think that condo will get built. I was in detroit recently and they have not even broke ground yet.

Mayor Bing?

[supersimpsonsfan100]

Detroit is coming back! after all the dead attempts to get this city back have failed i think that we finally have the right niche.

[FrankeeFraud]

How many Negroes can afford this? C'mon!

[djdetroit20006]

ur comments not cool dude. understand that its not about who can't afford this, its about getting the people in who can afford it.

[FrankeeFraud]

Damn! At my age, I can't afford to lose any of my cool...(:'-(
