Lofts nearly filled in Dearborn's West Downtown

Living space is becoming a little scarce in Dearborn's west downtown, now that the Horizon and Gateway lofts are nearly completely leased.

Only four are still available, including the two penthouse units. That means 28 of the lofts in the two developments are occupied by residents walking downtown's streets and patronizing its businesses.

Gateway Lofts, on the southwest corner of Michigan Avenue and Military Street, features eight lofts above ground floor retail space in the 2-story building. The lofts range in size from 1,100-1,500 square feet. They all have a bedroom and den and rent for $1,000-$1,550 per month.

Horizon Lofts has 24 lofts in four stories of new construction overlooking the corner of Michigan and Howard Street. It also offers live-above ground floor retail spaces. These lofts range from 1,000-1,700 square feet. Rents go from $1,300-$1,900 a month. There is also a fitness center and roof-top deck.

Free wi-fi will be available throughout both Horizon and Gateway lofts. Downtown also has a free wireless system installed by the guys behind Wireless Ypsi.
