Lafayette Park

Lafayette Park, completed in 1960, is a standout example of modern urban architecture and planning, featuring 26 buildings by Mies van der Rohe—the largest collection of his work in the world and his only projects in Michigan. The neighborhood includes three high-rise residences, a small shopping center, and ample green space. Known for its glass-and-steel design, it also offers an intimate, village-like feel with ground-level homes. Located within walking distance of downtown and Eastern Market, it provides easy access to the city’s cultural and waterfront areas.
