Like many communities across Michigan, Cadillac is working to expand housing opportunities while revitalizing its historic downtown. A former contaminated and vacant property on Mitchell Street is now playing an important role in that effort, showing how brownfield redevelopment can transform neglected sites into housing and economic opportunity.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) joined state and local leaders for a tour of Cadillac Lofts, a mixed-use redevelopment project that has converted a once-blighted site into housing and commercial space in the heart of downtown. The tour offered a firsthand look at how environmental cleanup and redevelopment are helping communities address housing shortages while strengthening local economies. Following the tour, EGLE Director Phil Roos convened a roundtable discussion with community leaders and development partners to discuss the importance of public-private partnerships in bringing projects like Cadillac Lofts to life.
EGLE, MSHDA, MEDC, local officials, developers, and community stakeholders tour the second phase of the Cadillac Lofts brownfield redevelopment. The Cadillac Lofts project is located at 207 South Mitchell Street, a site that was once contaminated with chlorinated solvents and underground storage tanks. The redevelopment will deliver 92 rental apartments and ground-floor commercial space across two phases, with final construction expected in late 2026. The project received $1 million in cleanup and redevelopment support from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), along with funding from the city, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Phase I opened in 2021.
“Housing is one of the most important investments we can make in our communities,” said EGLE Director Phil Roos. “By cleaning up contaminated properties and putting them back into productive use, brownfield redevelopment creates new opportunities for families to live and thrive while strengthening neighborhoods and supporting local economies. Cadillac Lofts is a perfect example of how thoughtful redevelopment can turn once-neglected sites into lasting community assets.”
EGLE’s Brownfield Redevelopment Program has supported four redevelopment projects in Cadillac, representing $2.6 million in EGLE investment and attracting more than $30.5 million in total capital investment. These projects have created 92 housing units and 46 jobs, turning underused or contaminated properties into safe and productive spaces for residents and businesses.
The EGLE Brownfield Redevelopment Program has also supported other redevelopment efforts across the community. The Cadillac Solar Gardens project converted a long-abandoned industrial property into a nearly three-acre solar installation that now generates enough clean energy to power roughly 100 homes. Other projects, including redeveloped commercial sites such as Dollar General and Horizon Bank, have brought jobs and businesses back to once-vacant areas of the city.
Since 2019, Michigan has invested more than $184 million in brownfield incentives, supporting 474 redevelopment projects in communities across the state. Those investments have leveraged more than $8.3 billion in private investment and helped create over 20,000 jobs.
EGLE Director Roos leads roundtable discussion on importance of brownfield redevelopment with state and local partners. “Cadillac Lofts is a transformational mixed-use development that is a significant contributing factor to our bustling downtown,” said Cadillac City Manager Marcus A. Peccia. “Formerly a blighted, contaminated and nearly vacant site, Cadillac Lofts is an anchor location that especially provides much needed downtown housing. The collaborative efforts between EGLE, Michigan Community Capital, the Cadillac Brownfield Authority, Downtown Development Authority and City Council is an excellent example of what makes the City of Cadillac such a special place.”
As communities continue working to expand housing and redevelop underused properties, projects like Cadillac Lofts demonstrate how environmental cleanup and redevelopment can help transform former brownfields into places where Michiganders can live, work, and thrive.
