House Description

Fifty-six exclusive residences are set within one of Detroit’s most significant historic towers, designed by Albert Kahn in 1927. Fort Shelby Residences offers refined city living with sweeping views of the Detroit River and skyline as a constant backdrop. Original architectural character remains intact, while quartz, wood, and steel have been thoughtfully integrated into the century-old structure—enhancing the space without overshadowing its history. Modern appliances and updated systems provide the comfort and performance expected today.Residence 16B features the sought-after B floorplan, with windows on three sides and exceptional natural light throughout the day. Spanning approximately 1,848 square feet, the layout is expansive yet purposeful. The open kitchen, living, and dining area—over 800 square feet—anchors the home and captures panoramic river and city views. All hardwood floors run throughout the residence, with no carpet, reinforcing the clean, cohesive aesthetic. The primary suite offers nearly 400 square feet of quiet retreat, complete with a dressing area, generous walk-in closet, and a well-appointed en-suite bath.The home is well maintained with meaningful updates, including a new water tank (2024) and a heat pump/HVAC system replaced in 2018. Window treatments are included. The property also benefits from an NEZ certificate, offering significantly reduced property taxes.Beyond the residence, Fort Shelby offers a fully serviced urban lifestyle. Amenities include a private residential lobby with concierge service, a 24/7 fitness center, on-site restaurant and bar, and valet parking available around the clock (fee-based).
