Fisher Body Plant 21 Future Rendering
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PROPOSED TIER 1 CBO DEVELOPMENT: FISHER BODY PLANT 21
The Developer (‘Fisher Lofts 21, LLC’), which consists of Jackson Asset Management, Lewand Development, and Hosey Development is seeking to rehabilitate the Fisher Body Plant 21. Originally built in 1919, the Fisher Body Plant 21 is a 600,000 square feet former auto plant on a 4.7 acre parcel of land owned by the City of Detroit. The former auto body plant has been vacant since 1993 and is located at 6051 Hastings Street. The existing structure is proposed to be preserved and redeveloped into approximately 435 rental apartments; 38,000 square feet of commercial space; outdoor and indoor amenities; and up to 139 interior and 646 adjacent surface parking spaces.
At least 20% of rental units will be affordable to those earning no more than 80% of Area Median Income ($51,200 or less for a two-person household). Units will range in size from 490SF to 1,040SF and will include a mix of studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, and loft units. Proposed commercial uses include a ground-level market / food hall, café, a second-floor co-working space, plus residential amenities such as internal courtyard / atrium, fitness center, swimming pool, bicycle parking, and rooftop terrace.
Fisher Body Plant 21 seeks full governmental approvals by the third quarter of 2022 with a goal to commence site remediation and construction in 2023.

ABOUT DETROIT’S COMMUNITY BENEFITS ORDINANCE
The Community Benefits Ordinance (ORDINANCE NO. 2021-4) is a law that requires developers to proactively engage with the community to identify community benefits and address potential impacts of certain development projects. The ordinance was approved by Detroit voters and amended by Detroit City Council in 2021.
The project’s Impact Area (see map above) was determined by the Planning & Development Department. As per the Community Benefits Ordinance (CBO), a nine (9) member Neighborhood Advisory Council (NAC) will be established for this community benefits process. Any Detroit resident who lives in the Impact Area and is over the age of 18 is eligible to serve on the Neighborhood Advisory Council. Members of the NAC are expected to attend all scheduled public meetings during the CBO process: consisting of at least 6 meetings over a period of 2 – 3 months.
Attend the first CBO meeting on April 12th to learn more about this project and how you can participate in this public process. During the second CBO Meeting on April 26th, two (2) NAC members will be elected. Only Impact Area Residents attending the meeting on April 26th may vote in the NAC election.
