True North Detroit is an experimental live/work community in Detroit, Michigan, United States. The project is located at the corner of 16th St and Hancock St in Detroit, MI. It is being developed in an area of Detroit that hasn't seen development since the 1960s.
True North Detroit is being developed by Prince Concepts, a New York-based development firm. The designer is Edwin Chan, principal of EC3. Prior to working in Detroit and on True North Detroit, Chan was the design director at Gehry Partners with his most notable design projects being the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and the Foundation Louis Vuitton Museum in Paris, France.
True North Detroit was given an "Honorable Mention" in the Progressive Architecture awards given by Architect Magazine each year; in addition, True North Detroit was featured on the cover of Architect Magazine's February 2017 issue
True North is slated to be completed in early Spring of 2017 and is currently under construction. The project will be an affordable respite for creatives looking to establish a base in Detroit.
