Detroit is growing: More people, more coffee, and more affordable housing

Hey Detroit! We are back in our TechTown studio for your Daily Detroit, and on this Thursday, May 15th, 2025, the city is absolutely buzzing with news – from delicious new spots, to political shifts, to the city growing population for a second year in a row.  On today's show: Corktown Coffee & Bagel in Core City First up, Devon brought in a treat from the brand new Haraz Coffee in Corktown, which just had its soft opening. Located at 1501 Church Street (right off Michigan & Trumbull in a new parking deck), this Yemeni coffee shop is already impressing. Not to be outdone on the new-eats front, I shared my excitement about Bev's Bagels, the latest venture from James Beard-nominated Max Sussman. Tucked into a space on Grand River (south of Warren), Bev's offers an old-school diner counter feel but with amazing bagels.  Detroit's Growing Population & Development News The big headline? Detroit's population has grown for the second consecutive year, according to new U.S. Census estimates. This is the first time since 1957 the city has seen two straight years of growth, adding 7,000 residents and becoming the 26th largest city proper in America. Mayor Duggan credits reduced crime, more jobs, and new housing.  While positive news, there's much more work to do. We discuss the big pluses and what's ahead.  Speaking of development, the groundbreaking for Lee Plaza on West Grand Boulevard (in the Northwest Goldberg neighborhood) is a monumental step. This 100-year-old, long-vacant iconic eyesore is being transformed into 117 units of affordable senior housing, with rents capped at 30% of income. It's a complex project with 7-8 layers of financing, but it's a "jewel" being added outside of downtown. Political Tremors: 2026 Governor's Race Polls New polling for the 2026 Governor's race is turning heads. A Target Insyght poll shows Mayor Mike Duggan, running as an independent, with 48% overall support among Detroit voters (up 9 points since February). He's even leading 51-28 among Black voters in the city.  Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has slipped to 32%, and Republican Congressman John James is at just 3% with Detroit voters.  Although it's early, we get into it because it shows the former Mayor has more juice than some expected. Though it's kind of in line with what we predicted. What Do You Think? What are your favorite new spots in the city? Are you feeling the growth? And what's your take on these early political polls?

And yes, we are expanding into other areas of the nation where we believe we can have an impact, but we want everything to happen in Michigan first) What is exciting that is happening in Michigan?

Devon shares how he enjoyed the charm of this New England city, from its historical architecture to its seafood delights, and reflect on how it compares to Detroit's vibrant scene.

Labeled "Devon Downer" as of late, he explains the importance of balancing optimism with realism, especially given Detroit's complex development landscape.

Ford refurbishes old train station, a former eyesore that had become a symbol of Detroit's decline

The once-blighted, monolithic Michigan Central train station was for decades a symbol of Detroit's decline. It now has new life following a massive six-year, multimillion-dollar renovation to create a hub for mobility projects in the rebirth of the Motor City. The windowless, hulking, scavenger-ravaged structure that ominously shadowed the city's Corktown neighborhood now is home to Ford Motor Company and the centerpiece of a sprawling 30-acre (12-hectare) mobility innovation district. The building's first tenant, Google's Code Next Detroit computer science education program, was expected to move in by late June. Grand opening ceremonies included an outdoor concert on June 6, with tours for the public that started on June 7. “It really represented kind of the best physical symbol of that decay,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said. “And here we are in a completely beautiful, breathtaking facility like Detroit was in the ‘20s. But here we are almost 100 years later.” The restoration effort is part of the automaker's more than $900 million project to create a place where new transportation and mobility ideas are nurtured and developed. The train station's history reflects the city's fortunes during its heyday as the world's car capital and later misfortunes as thousands of auto workers and other residents fled Detroit for life in the suburbs. The depot opened in late 1913. But as traveling by train gave way to commuter air travel and as more Americans chose to use the nation's interstates, the numbers of people coming through Michigan Central steadily dropped. The last train pulled out in 1988 and for years after the building fell into disrepair, neglect, and abandonment. It became a destination for the curious and urban adventurers. Other buildings in Detroit suffered the same or a similar fate, but due to Michigan Central's size, it became a symbol of the city's decline. Redevelopment by its former owner never materialized. Then, in 2018, Ford announced it was buying the 18-story building and adjacent structures as part of its plans for a more than 1 million-square-foot campus focusing on autonomous vehicles.
