An imaginative form of 21st century recycling will convert 11 steel shipping containers into high-ceiling rental spaces on Michigan Avenue in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood.
It's a way to reuse 40 foot-tall cargo cubes, priced to move amid a global glut and one-way trips by some owners. They serve as the main structural element for a building that mixes pre-fab and custom construction.
Modular design meets loft-style living at a project called SteelHaus to add a bit of European flair. The three-story site at 2426 Michigan Ave., across from Two James Spirits, will have three residential lofts above one to four shops.
