The Charlotte, a 1915 building in Midtown, has new life after an extensive renovation. 40 studio and one-bedroom apartments are new renting from $1,025 to $1,350 a month.
Previous owners had started a renovation but sold the building when they couldn't finish. The new owners found the right contractor who was able to finish and keep many of the features intact. When purchased, the Cass Corridor building was vacant and had no running water, heat, or electricity in the units, according to Marc Couillais of Modern City.

The apartments have historic features with some modern updates. Each unit has exposed brick. Flooring is concrete on the first floor, and wood on the upper levels. The one-bedroom apartments facing the city have 8-foot wide barn doors with glass for natural light. The studios have bed nooks so the bed isn't in the middle of the living space. Some apartments have the original clawfoot tubs and terrazzo flooring in the bathrooms, while others have a tiled stand-up shower.
Gated parking is available next to the building, and the units have Rocket Fiber and A/C.

The building sits in an area near Founder's Brewing, the Detroit Shipping Company, the Masonic Temple, Little Caesars Arena, and the upcoming Temple Detroit hotel. 624 Charlotte sits next to another apartment building in the largely undeveloped area between Midtown and downtown.
The apartments are leasing through Modern City.
