If you're looking to move to historic yet ever-changing Corktown and have cash to burn, there are high-end condos with your name on them.
Why it matters: Corktown has seen rent and land value increases skyrocket since the 2018 announcement of Ford's Michigan Central Station revitalization.
- As part of our regular House Hunting feature examining real estate across the city, Axios Detroit will be looking into what various price points can get homebuyers in the desirable greater-downtown neighborhood — pricey, affordable and in-between.
By the numbers: The median home price in Corktown was $585,000 as of October, according to Redfin, up nearly 35% from last year.
- But there's a host of condo offerings above that price point currently on the market. As we look at the breadth of what's available, we're starting on the high end.

Zoom in: One unit remains for purchase in Bagley 10, a "bespoke" condo community that's the first new-build development from Christian Hurttienne Architects. The firm is known for its design work across the city, according to Ryan Cooley, owner of O'Connor Real Estate.
Between the lines: The upper-unit condo has three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with 2,130 square feet across two floors. Architectural details include a rooftop deck, modern fixtures, custom millwork cabinetry and an open-slatted floating staircase, according to O'Connor's website.
- "The building design is inspired by a walk-up/walk-down rowhouse typology of upper and lower units typical of denser cities like New York and Chicago," according to the Bagley 10 website.
