Featured Neighborhood

New Center

New Center is a unique and vibrant district. Off Woodward Avenue north of Midtown, it is home to the Fisher Building and the Fisher Theatre. The legacy of Albert Kahn and so many other neighborhood notables are reason enough to visit here. Less known is the rich and growing mix of goods and services. New Center is once again emerging as a destination for great shopping, blending long-time neighborhood stalwarts (some dating from the late 1800s) with exciting new independent merchants.
