3550 John C Lodge

Spanning approximately 91,270 square feet and 2+ acres, the former Delta Prep Academy is located along the John C Lodge freeway, just north of Martin Luther King Boulevard and walking distance to some of Midtown’s best destinations. The property’s SD-2 zoning allows for a variety of flexible uses including multifamily, retail, self storage, and office. With its unique location and high visibility, the property presents a significant opportunity for future adaptive reuse or ground-up development.

Within a 100-yard radius of the property, more than $100 million in planned, underway, and recently completed capital investment underscores the area’s rapid transformation. One block north, the recently completed $45+ million Jefferson Hub—a former school thoughtfully reimagined into a modern mixed-use destination—anchors this momentum. The City has further invested in the immediate vicinity with the construction of a new park directly adjacent to the site. Next door, Midtown West Detroit Phase II has recently begun vertical construction and is projected to exceed $50 million in total investment upon stabilization. Complementing these private developments, planned street expansions along 4th Street and Brainard Street will improve connectivity to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and the John C. Lodge Service Drive, enhancing accessibility and long-term value.
