The Fourth of July is a long-celebrated holiday in the States, so lots of people wonder why Detroit sets off their Fireworks before the official holiday (on the last Monday in June). The reason is so that we can celebrate a combined holiday with our Canadian neighbors (who celebrate their Independence on July 1). My luxury loft’s Leasing Office takes…
If you've ever wondered why the Detroit Fireworks are on the last Monday in June, it’s because the spectacular show that lights up the Detroit River is a celebration we share with our neighbors to the south—Canada! And my Luxury Loft embraces that aspect of the Ford Fireworks festivities by hosting a Rooftop Party for me and all of my…

Living in Detroit, Memorial Day still means spending the weekend on the water and eating outside! I’ve been coming to Movement since it was a free festival, and over the years it has only gotten better! Especially since my Downtown…

I celebrated Cinco de Mayo long before I moved to Downtown Detroit—fine, I celebrated it before I was 21—but as I prepare for the festivities this weekend, I’m struck by the similarities between my luxury loft and Don Julio González.

I moved to Downtown Detroit before the city began its recent resurgence. But The Lofts of Merchants Row had a vision of my building restored to its original beauty, and they created—and keep up—the luxury lofts I live in. They understand the importance of appearances, and that value is more than surface deep. From the day I moved in, I…
