13000 Dequindre St, Detroit, MI 48212

The city of Detroit is offering the former Washington School, located at 13000 Dequindre, for sale. This historically significant (not designated) site features a massive, single story, brick structure of approximately 87,000 sf and sits on 5.46 acres.

Due to the nature of the construction, it being in a Strategic Neighborhood Fund target area and the relative seclusion provided by the 5+ acre site and abundance of green space surrounding the building and the wide array of “by right” uses provided under the Adaptive Reuse ordinance(s) for former school sites, the sky is the limit for what can be done with this property!

Some of the concepts that would be welcomed by the city and community are as follows or a combination thereof (this list is not exhaustive or prescriptive): EDUCTIONAL FACILITY (Elementary, Middle, High School, Trade, etc.); COOPERATIVE USES that provide utility for multiple entities; MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENTS featuring retail, makers spaces; LIGHT INDUSTRIAL or RESIDENTIAL utilization.

More information on the condition, history, and redevelopment potential of this and the full portfolio of City-owned schools can be found here: www.afterschooldetroit.com/schools/3-washington
