Prior to the construction of these three (3) custom designed single-family homes in Detroit’s North Corktown neighborhood, the Detroit Land Bank Authority did not possess a vehicle to sell vacant lots to individual homeowners. Christian Hurttienne Architects, in conjunction with the Detroit Land Bank Authority (DBLA), over the course of several years, worked to change governmental policy enabling these houses to be built upon vacant DLBA lots they now inhabit. A successful endeavor for the homeowners, the neighborhood and now citywide with DLBA replicating this model, in conjunction with homeowners and other developers, on vacant lots across the neighborhoods of the City of Detroit.
