For decades, Dennis Kefallinos has invested in Detroit real estate, but it looks like he’s now pulling out. Dozens of Kefallinos’ properties in Detroit and Hamtramck are now up for grabs, including the Harvard Square Centre high-rise and the Michigan Theater Building. Crain’s Detroit Business reported that Kefallinos is selling a total of 30 properties, or 2.3 million square feet on more than 100 acres of land.

None of Kefallinos’ residential properties are for sale. Part of the reason why is because almost all of them are tied up in lawsuits, according to MLive. The Russell Industrial Center property is also not on the market.

There are no reports yet on the reasoning behind this massive sale.

City kicks off mission to board up 11,000 blighted houses

The city of Detroit plans to board up 11,000 blighted homes over the next two years, Mayor Mike Duggan announced Thursday at a kick-off event in the southwest neighborhood of Boynton.

The launch comes two days after Duggan and state Sen. Coleman Young II advanced in the mayoral election primary. Duggan carried a healthy lead — 67 percent — but serious questions remain over whether the mayor has done enough for Detroiters living outside the city's rapidly developing downtown.

Called the Board Up Brigades, this most recent initiative is part of Duggan's work over the past several months to answer that very question.

"It's probably something we should have done before," Duggan said Thursday after kicking off of the program.

The mayor said in May that his administration planned to board up houses that weren't in the immediate pipeline for demolition within the next six months, Crain's reported.

Under the plan, all of Detroit's estimated 25,000 blighted homes would be torn down, rehabilitated or secured, according to a city news release. About 9,000 are set for demolition, 5,000 would be rehabbed and then occupied and the 11,000 or so remaining would be boarded up.

The two-year board-up project will cost about $9 million, which comes from general fund money that is designated for blight removal, city spokesman John Roach said.

...

The city's Department of Neighborhoods has hired 22 workers for the Board Up Brigades crews, including 13 Detroiters who were previously incarcerated, Duggan said at the event. The city plans to hire a total of 40 people — up to 20 of them people returning from prison — as well as contract with two yet-to-be-determined community organizations.

Board Up Brigades workers said they're making between $10 and $13 an hour.

...

About 40,000 abandoned homes dotted the city's landscape in January 2014, according to the release. About 12,000 have been demolished and 3,000 rehabbed since then.
