The best of New Center

TREE LINED SIDEWALKS AND BIKEABLE STREETS

The northern anchor of Detroit's greater downtown, New Center is a diverse and vibrant historic district marked by well-preserved National Landmark office buildings, broad tree-lined streets, and proximity to major highways and transit lines. The district, especially the area around the iconic Fisher Building, is home to numerous shops, restaurants, and art galleries, and just a short drive from the city’s largest employers and its many cultural institutions, sports arenas, and museums.
