Demand Is Up For Rental Units in Downtown Detroit

With all the dubious news about Detroit -- particularly the government's horrendous state of economic disrepair -- here's some sunshine.

The Detroit News reports that rental apartments from Midtown to Corktown to downtown are filling up.

The paper reports that more workers and students are choosing Detroit.

The News writes:

The squeeze is likely to continue even as developers begin to complete new apartments by renovating old buildings, instead of building new structures. For example, the Newbury Hall Building in Midtown already has leased all of its 28 apartments, while the Broderick Tower in downtown has reservations for 90 of its planned 124 rental units.
