The shortage of rental apartments in Detroit’s popular Midtown district would be eased a little by construction of a new mixed-use project breaking ground today.
Known as the Auburn, the $12-million project will create 58 rental apartments and 11 retail storefronts on a vacant site on the southeast corner of Cass and Canfield. There will be 97 parking spaces behind the L-shaped building. The project is scheduled to open in August 2012.
Designed by Kraemer Design Group of Detroit, the Auburn would feature studio and one-bedroom apartments renting for about $700 to $850 per month. The target market is graduate students, young professionals and others looking for reasonably priced units in the district.

This was announced over a year ago, and with The Union at Midtown going through its entire development cycle before anything happened I figured this project was dead. Good to see they're starting work on it.
