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

Matt is a fantastic sales representative who wears the face of Robertson Brothers very well, working with him during the home buying process was a joy and effortless. My next home purchase (in 5 year) I will definitely be reaching out to Matt at Robertson. Noel is by far the hardest worker in the entire Robertson Brothers company, and I mean that with all sincerity. I checked on my home builder progress on a weekly basis and now matter how busy Noel was he always made sure to say hello to me and answered any questions I had. I only called/texted him a couple times and he got back to me in minutes every time. He even helped me with two warranty issues after I moved in and he resolved each within 24 hours of me texting him. This guy is fantastic and I seriously hope his hard work is appreciated within the company.
