Detroit’s Town Apartments Sold, Will Undergo 18-month Renovation
By R.J. King. dbusiness.com



Riding Detroit’s redevelopment wave, Triton Investment Co. has acquired the Town Apartments at First and Bagley in downtown Detroit, and will soon start a renovation that will include upgrades to most of the 255 residences, along with new finishes to the common areas, heating and cooling improvements, and the addition of new amenities.

The deal marks the ninth residential project in Detroit in recent years by Triton Investment, based in Greenwood Village, a suburb of Denver. Earlier this year, the company acquired five properties along and near East Jefferson Avenue — Kean Apartments, Hibbard Apartment Building, Van Dyke Manor, Parker Residences, and most recently, Trombley Lodge Apartments, a three-story structure that offers 40 units.

In turn, the company acquired and is nearing a complete renovation of Alden Towers along East Jefferson, which offers 381 luxury apartments, while Water’s Edge at Harbortown will offer 143 new luxury apartments (one, two, or three bedrooms) set within five-story structures at Harbortown. The latter apartments will be available for rent next summer. The company also acquired 23 homes in East English Village five years ago.

“Detroit is a great story, the city is coming back, and we see a lot of opportunity for people who want to live in historically-significant properties,” says April Sedillos, executive vice president of Triton Investment Co. “For Town Apartments, we’re still going over the layout, but we will upgrade the boilers right away. The timeline is 18 months (to complete the entire renovation).”

Drove past this about a week ago so I'm pretty sure these images are pretty recent. It's in the middle of the night as I'm posting this so the webcams don't seem to be live.
