Urban Design
City Modern is a catalytic development representing the future of Detroit - a contemporary neighborhood celebrating history, sustainability, community and social inclusion.
Long considered one of Detroit’s most iconic neighborhoods, the next chapter in Brush Park’s storied history begins with City Modern. This ground-breaking community development unites Brush Park’s historic lineage with the thoughtful integration of modern design and urban living. Brush Park is perfectly situated to serve as an innovative link between Downtown and Midtown by establishing a sustainable, walkable environment for a diverse community. The project team for City Modern includes Bedrock, Hamilton Anderson Associates (HAA), Hunter Pasteur Homes, Christian Hurttienne Architects (CHA), Merge Architects, Studio Dwell, and Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA).
In 2016 City Modern won the Grand Prize Award at the Congress for New Urbanism Conference for demonstrating “sophistication of streets, elevations, and urban composition.”
