About New Center
New Center is one of Detroit's most architecturally significant and most historically important commercial and residential districts — the neighborhood along West Grand Boulevard that was developed as a "new center" of Detroit commerce in the 1920s, anchored by Albert Kahn's masterpiece Fisher Building and the General Motors headquarters complex that defined the neighborhood's character for decades. Today, New Center is anchored by Henry Ford Health System — one of Michigan's largest and most significant health systems — and surrounded by a growing residential community of healthcare professionals, young professionals, and the community of Detroiters whose commitment to the city's renewal mirrors the neighborhoods' own ongoing revival.

The first-mover window in New Center is open: most established Detroit detailers concentrate on downtown, Brush Park, and the premium suburban markets. Spring pollen from April through May follows salt season. The Fisher Building is your most important local knowledge signal — mention it in every New Center community communication.
