Five new townhomes coming to downtown Hamtramck

Five units under development will mark the downtown district of Hamtramck’s first townhouse development. Developer Gil Opaleski of Platinum Building and Development expects construction to begin by August 1.

Located on Mitchell Street just east of Jos. Campau and north of Caniff, construction awaits the enablement of Hamtramck’s Neighborhood Enterprise Zone, which is expected to occur on June 13. Referencing the Vet Park Lofts, Hamtramck’s Community and Economic Development Director Erik Tungate characterizes the magnitude of Mitchell Street townhouses: “This, along with the live/work project … definitely does signify a changing of the guard in Hamtramck. It’s exciting.”
