EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Rare Adaptive Reuse Campus in Southwest Detroit
The McKinstry Campus Portfolio presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic institutional campus in the heart of Southwest Detroit’s vibrant Latino community. The offering consists of two architecturally significant buildings totaling approximately 28,000 square feet situated on approximately 0.60 acres within a Qualified Opportunity Zone.
The Portfolio includes:
Property Address Approx. SF Use
School Building 1450 McKinstry St 21,400 SF Former School
Church Building 1444 McKinstry St 6,600 SF Former Church

The campus benefits from strategic proximity to Clark Park, major transportation corridors including I-75 (Fisher Freeway), strong pedestrian activity, and an established neighborhood identity. The properties are located within an R2 zoning district aligned with Detroit’s broader “Build More Housing” initiative, potentially supporting a range of adaptive reuse and redevelopment concepts.
The existing structures provide immediate value through their historic character, flexible layouts, durable brick construction, and ability to support phased redevelopment strategies.
