New reporting from Detroitisit, by Kim Kisner, says Bria Bergman and Amelia Patt-Zamir are building the Detroit Design District in Milwaukee Junction. The pair are anchoring the creative cluster in the roughly 60,000-square-foot Boyer Campbell building, and they're drawing on the neighborhood's auto manufacturing history, its architecture, and its music to shape the district rather than starting from a blank slate. "We're not trying to change the neighborhood," Bergman told Detroitisit. "We're trying to enhance what is already there." Strait has not independently confirmed this.
Why we're watching: Milwaukee Junction already has the bones for a real design district, and we'll cover the galleries, shops, and openings directly as they land.
