What's happening?
The Mid is a mixed-use development planned for a 3.8-acre site in Midtown. Construction was initially planned to start in 2019 after Mohammad Qazi purchased the site for $15 million in 2018. Initial plans called for a hotel/condo tower, residential tower and other buildings, though plans have changed several times. The state extended construction deadlines in 2021 and 2023, with the latest deadline requiring seven stories of a 15-story building complete by the end of 2026 for the developers to receive $8.97 million in brownfield tax credits. The project underwent Detroit's community benefits process in 2020-2021.
