ProVisions, LLC is pleased to present 4.67 acres positioned in the heart of Detroit’s rapidly evolving Core City neighborhood, 4445 Lawton presents a rare  development opportunity in one of the city’s most design-forward and culturally active districts. Surrounded by acclaimed destinations such as Prince Concepts’ The Caterpillar, True North, and The Canopy, and just steps from popular establishments like Barda, Puma, and Prince Café, the site benefits from a dynamic blend of hospitality, residential, and creative energy that continues to attract local and national attention.

The property is zoned SD-2 (Special Development District), a forward-thinking designation designed to accelerate high-density, mixed-use development. This zoning allows for increased building heights of up to 60 feet, reduced parking requirements, and streamlined by-right approvals—significantly lowering entitlement risk and development timelines.

Whether envisioned as a mixed-use destination, residential community, or hospitality-driven project, the property is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the continued growth and momentum of Core City.
