EASTERN MARKET PARKING GARAGE RENOVATION

DESMAN served as Structural Engineer of Record for the recently completed renovations to the City of Detroit’s Eastern Market Parking Garage located approximately one mile northeast of downtown Detroit.

This 330-space garage primarily provides parking for the Eastern Market Historic District. 

Renovations included: structural repairs, architectural upgrades (including façade renovations), mechanical upgrades, and electrical upgrades (including new LED lighting).  

About EASTERN MARKET – Within this Historic District is the Eastern Market, which is adjacent to the garage and dates back to 1891.  The Eastern Market is the largest open-air flowerbed market in the United States and the largest historic public market district in the United States. More than 150 food and specialty businesses are located within the market district selling all types of goods including produce, meat, spices, jams, poultry, flowers and jewelry, which makes this garage a vital component for this District’s continued growth and success.
