Michigan

Overview

Michigan presents a diverse investment landscape anchored by industrial revitalization, urban redevelopment, and affordability-driven population shifts. Detroit continues its long-term recovery with capital inflows into workforce housing and mixed-use redevelopment, while Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor offer strong demand in medical, tech, and university-adjacent real estate.

With significant value-add potential, public-private incentives, and market inefficiencies, Michigan supports co-GP partnerships, capital stack advisory, and third-party asset management—particularly for investors targeting repositioning strategies and long-duration holds.
