Historic Preservation Tax Credit (HPTC) rehabilitation project for the 70,000 sf. former Forest City Bank and Seymour Block in the West 25th and Superior Historic District. The 1904 Neo-Classical Forest City Bank was designed by the prominent Cleveland architectural firm, Searles and Hirsh. In 1918, the bank entrance was modified to serve as the west entrance to the Detroit-Superior High-Level Bridge’s subway system. Notable Cleveland architects, Cudell and Richardson, designed the 1886 Italianate style Seymour Block. The Seymour historically housed the famed Keifer’s Restaurant and Tavern.

The mixed-use rehabilitation includes 38 affordable residential units and first-floor restaurant and workspace for LAND Studio. The project was awarded $10.8M from LIHTC. The redevelopment is part of a larger project known as “Quarter” the West 25th & Detroit Project undertaken by the Snavely Group which is also comprised of a new $54M mixed-use building including 194 residential units and 30,000sf of commercial space.
