Dearborn's Gateway Lofts aim for mid summer completion

'Tis the season for more and more residential space to open in Dearborn's west downtown. First, Horizon Lofts is set to open in mid summer and then Gateway Lofts will come online toward the end of summer.

The finishing touches are being put on Gateway's 8-loft project on the southwest corner of Michigan Avenue and Military Street. The ground floor retail space and lofts above in the two-story building will be ready for occupancy at the same time.

The eight lofts will range in size from 1,100 square feet to 1,500 square feet. All of the units will be have one bedroom and a den. Prices of the rental units start at $1000 per month and go as high as $1550.

"We have received some commitments and a lot of interest," says Amer Zahr, leasing agent for Gateway Lofts.

Caliente Grille, a Mexican food restaurant, will open on the ground floor. There is enough retail space on the ground floor to accommodate up to four other businesses. Free wireless Internet will also be available throughout the building.
