Former Scripps Mansion site in Woodbridge envisioned for 65 townhomes (Crain's Detroit Business)

A development team is seeking $2.36 million in brownfield tax reimbursements as part of its financing for a 65-unit townhome development in Detroit's Woodbridge neighborhood on a site that once included the Scripps Mansion.

A joint venture between Detroit-based Tekton Development LLC, Detroit-based Civic Companies LLC and Bloomfield Hills-based Robertson Bros. plans the $18.5 million development at 3700 Trumbull St. between Selden and Brainard streets on about 2.63 acres of land.

The Scripps Mansion, built starting in 1879 for the former founder and publisher of The Detroit News, fell victim to arson in the 1980s, according to a Detroit Historic District Commission document.

The development would have 48 one-car garage townhomes with about 1,300 square feet and 16 two-car garage townhomes with about 1,600 square feet.

What Our Homebuyers Are Saying

We have had a great experience building with Robertson Homes. From the beginning, Brooks worked with our budget to make this work for us and was always very responsive to our calls and emails. Since moving in, Jem has been very professional and flexible with our schedule in getting the final touches of our home complete. They have been a great team and all very nice to do business with. Building a home can feel like a long process so for us communication was key and we felt like everyone kept us up to date in the process. We have been in our home for 5 months now and we are very pleased with the quality and would highly recommend Robertson to our family and friends.
