Robertson Homes Unveils New Community, Avery Place, in Detroit's Historic Woodbridge Area

DETROIT, MI, April 27, 2023 – Robertson Homes, in joint partnership with TerraNovus Development, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of Avery Place, a vibrant new townhome community located in the heart of Detroit's historic Woodbridge neighborhood. With a history of successful developments in Corktown and Lafayette Park, Robertson Homes now brings modern, attainable for-sale housing to the Woodbridge area, contributing to the revitalization of Detroit.

The grand opening of Avery Place will be held on Saturday, April 29th, from noon to 5 PM at the furnished model home located at 51571 Avery Avenue, Detroit, MI 48208. This community was designed with walkability in mind, featuring an aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the surrounding Woodbridge neighborhood, which is known for its rich history, unique art institutions, and welcoming community spaces.

Matt McCauley, SVP of Regional Prosperity at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, stated, “Today’s news is incredibly exciting for the Woodbridge Neighborhood and the city of Detroit. Access to attainable housing is a key priority for the MEDC and all of Team Michigan. Working hand in hand with the developers and the community, we have the opportunity to bring much-needed housing units to the area, which will increase foot traffic, support local businesses, and create greater opportunities for talent and businesses to build their future in Detroit.”

Located just minutes from Downtown, New Center, and Midtown, Woodbridge is continually evolving. The area is home to a number of art institutions such as 4731 Gallery, the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit, the Trumbullplex, and Alley Culture. Woodbridge also houses the quirky Woodbridge Bicycle Garden, a community space dotted with cycling-inspired sculptures.

“Woodbridge is a historic, vibrant, and diverse community, home to people from all walks of life,” said Christine Holmes from the Woodbridge Development Committee. “The new Avery Place townhomes expand housing options in the neighborhood and we look forward to welcoming our new neighbors.”

In addition to its artistic appeal, Woodbridge offers trendy dining and drinking spots, including pizzerias, easygoing bars, a coffee shop, and a Japanese izakaya across the area. Homeowners at Avery Place will enjoy an active lifestyle with close proximity to parks, shops, and restaurants, with pedestrian connections to Wayne State University as well as Detroit's Midtown art and cultural district.

“Very early in the process, Robertson Homes felt welcomed in the Woodbridge community, and we have worked collaboratively to create a new development that fits into the fabric of the neighborhood,” said Tim Loughrin, Director of Land Acquisition from Robertson Homes. “We are excited to be part of Woodbridge and are confident that we will replicate the positive impact of other recent, nearby Robertson Homes’ communities: the Towns at the Corner and the Townes at Pullman Parc.” 

Avery Place offers a care-free lifestyle, where the exterior maintenance is taken care of by a professionally-run homeowners’ association. Each of the homes has an attached garage, 2 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, dedicated flex spaces for remote working and welcoming outdoor patios and balconies.
