DETROIT (AP) - A Detroit-based group hopes to use empty shipping
containers to build a 1.8 million dollar, 17-unit condominium
project.
The Detroit Free Press reports the project would stack empty
containers four high, cut in windows and doors, install plumbing,
stairways and heating, and add amenities such as balconies and
landscaped patios.
Groundbreaking could take place this fall on the project if it
wins city approval, and it could open in 2009. It's designed by
Detroit-based architect Steven Flum.
Developers plan to offer condominium units measuring 960 to
1,920 square feet. Prices will range from about $100,000 to about
$190,000.
