The restoration of the Ransom Gillis House in 2015 brought a lot of attention to the neighborhood. Nicole Curtis documented the transformation on her show Rehab Addict, and the restoration was funded by Quicken Loans. This house was like many in others in the neighborhood before—a shell of what it once was.

The first major new construction in the neighborhood was the Scott at Brush Park, a $65 million development with 199 apartments, plus restaurants and retail space. It opened in late 2016, put up for sale in July 2018, then ultimately refinanced for $50.1 million in January this year.

Standing at the corner of Mack Avenue and Brush Street, the Rainbow Child Care Center added a new handsome brick structure and important service to the neighborhood.

Construction wrapped on this six luxury condo development in August this year. The Devon Building on Watson Street, built in 1905, was torn down and a new one rebuilt in its place that faithfully recreated the original’s facade.

The units themselves range in size from a 734-square-foot one bedroom for $384,900 to a two-story, 2,450-square-foot penthouse with a private elevator that costs $1.57 million.

The largest development currently underway in Brush Park, when completed, Bedrock’s City Modern will bring over 400 new residential units to the neighborhood.

It’s well underway. A number of condo and apartment buildings have been completed, including The Flats, which offers affordable housing for seniors.

The Henry Glover House could have been demoed. Instead, in early 2017, the crumbling building went up for sale for $315,000. The new owners have been tracking their progress on a facebook page. It will result in five apartments or condos, with a new garage in the back.

Method Development will be redeveloping the 8,000-square-foot mansion at 304 Erskine Street into eight apartment units. The total cost of the project is an estimated $1.8 million. Construction has already begun and is expected to be completed by summer 2020.

It’s remarkable this building is getting saved. The Erskine mansion was abandoned sometime in the late 1970s, eventually caught fire, and was itself slated for demolition according to the Brush Park Preservation Society.
