The Plaza is a complete restoration of the iconic Hammer and Nail Building. Originally designed by Gerald Crane and Norbert Gorwic, the building constructed in 1965 boasts clean mid-century modern architecture. This building was originally intended as a tribute to a local carpenter’s union. The illuminated hammer and nail signs rested atop of this 12 story building acted as a visual anchor of Midtown Detroit for many years. The Plaza has 12 stories with 72 apartments, including 50 one bedroom apartments, 20 two bedroom apartments, and 2 three bedroom floor plans. The ground floor features a sleek cocktail bar, Hammer & Nail, where soaring floor-to-ceiling windows and warm walnut and leather banquettes are the backdrop for period-inspired cocktails and cuisine.

No other neighborhood in Detroit has more to offer than Midtown, and residents of The Plaza have the best of it at their doorstep.  The neighborhood, heralded as the cultural center of city, is home to some of the best cultural, educational, and medical institutions in the region—including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Michigan Science Center, Wayne State University, and the Detroit Medical Center.

Easily one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city, Midtown has over 80 restaurants, a dozen theaters and galleries, charming boutique retail shopping, 2 hardware stores, and a Whole Foods for all your grocery needs.  Living in Midtown also means easy access to the M1 Streetcar to bring you downtown for work or play.
