The Garland Building is a thoughtfully redeveloped mixed-use property that combines modern residential living with flexible commercial space and shared community amenities. Encompassing approximately 9,000 square feet, the project creates a vibrant environment where residents, businesses, and neighbors can connect through a thoughtfully designed blend of apartments, commercial uses, and common gathering spaces.

​

The redevelopment of the Garland Building reflects a commitment to revitalizing existing urban properties and creating spaces that support the continued growth of Detroit's neighborhoods. By integrating residential and commercial components within a single development, the project encourages a connected, walkable environment while providing opportunities for both housing and local businesses to thrive.

​

Artisan Contracting completed the transformation of the property with a focus on quality craftsmanship, functionality, and community-centered design. The residential apartments were updated to provide comfortable, modern living spaces, incorporating contemporary finishes and improvements while respecting the character of the existing building. The commercial areas were thoughtfully adapted to support future tenants, creating flexible spaces capable of accommodating a variety of neighborhood-serving businesses and services.

​

A key feature of the Garland Building is its dedicated common community space, designed to encourage interaction and create a sense of connection among residents and visitors. This shared amenity enhances the overall living experience by providing a place for gathering, collaboration, and community engagement beyond individual residential units.

​

The project represents the growing importance of adaptive reuse and mixed-use development throughout Detroit, where existing buildings are being reimagined to meet current housing and commercial needs. By combining residential opportunities with spaces that support local economic activity, the Garland Building contributes to a more vibrant and sustainable neighborhood environment.

Through thoughtful renovation and attention to detail, Artisan Contracting helped transform the Garland Building into a modern mixed-use destination that balances functionality, community, and design. The completed project demonstrates the value of preserving and reinvesting in Detroit's existing built environment while creating spaces that support residents, businesses, and the continued revitalization of the city.
