November 14, 2024 [DETROIT] – Bedrock announces The Belle, a mixed-use development at 1346 Broadway in downtown Detroit, bolstering the city’s Paradise Valley revitalization. This transformative project combines 8,000 square feet of retail and dining space with 42 studio, one-, and two-bedroom residential units.

"The legendary Paradise Valley has always been a staple of Detroit's entertainment scene,” said Kofi Bonner, Bedrock’s chief executive officer. “Bedrock's meticulous restoration of The Belle complements development efforts to bring modern and affordable living amenities to the Broadway Corridor."

The Belle incorporates:

• 42 residential units - with 20% offered at 80% area median income for affordable housing

• 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and dining

Scheduled for completion in 2026, Bedrock has enlisted Kraemer Design Group as the lead architect, Roncelli, Inc. as the general contractor and Pophouse for interior design and branding.

An Entertainment & Culture Legacy Continues

The Belle joins Basco's The Reckmeyer, a 9-story mixed-use project under construction and other efforts underway in Paradise Valley.

"I am grateful for the investment Bedrock is making with The Belle development. As not only the managing partner of Paradise Valley Real Estate Holdings, which owns 1452 Randolph St., but also as the CEO of Real Times Media and publisher of the Michigan Chronicle, which has proudly called the area home since 2017, I am thrilled to witness the continued growth and revitalization of the Paradise Valley Cultural and Entertainment District,” said Hiram E. Jackson. "Bedrock's support has been instrumental in driving the district's transformation and helping it become one of the top cultural destinations in the city."

Recent Paradise Valley attractions and enhancements include:

• The Vinyl Society at 1427 Randolph Street, a globally influenced, elevated lounge from Dennis Archer, Jr.

• Fixins Soul Kitchen at 1435 Randolph Street, a soul food restaurant by former NBA-All Star Kevin Johnson.
