Never heard of this project, but it looks like it will be a nice addition to the east side.

New waterfront cultural arts destination Stanton Yards coming to Detroit’s Little Village



Multiple boat storage and service facilities lining the Detroit River are transforming into Stanton Yards, a forthcoming waterfront arts destination spearheaded by Library Street Collective co-founders JJ and Anthony Curis.The development is part of the ambitious partners’ new arts corridor Little Village in Detroit’s East Village neighborhood. Once completed, Stanton Yards will be directly across Jefferson Avenue from the other anchor sites in Little Village, including the Shepherd, LANTERN, and Louis Buhl & Co.

“Stanton Yards is an extension of the community-based principles we’ve applied to other cultural developments in Little Village,” the Curises shared in a press release. “The adaptive reuse will breathe new life into a series of maritime buildings while transforming the storage-based marina into a public asset on the waterfront.”
The location got its name from the waterway’s original title, the Stanton Canal, a nod to the site’s industrial history.
The Curises hope that the 13-acre area will emerge as a cultural centerpiece for the community, with over 80,000 square feet of commercial and creative space, 85 boat slips, and programmed waterfront parks. Library Street Collective, in collaboration with neighborhood stakeholders, will also spearhead Stanton Yards’ programming, which will include exhibitions, public activations, and performances.
