Sophisticated city living in a historic landmark, with skyline and river views

Welcome to Residence 19C at The Fort Shelby — a stately one-bedroom suite perched on the 19th floor of this iconic 21-story tower designed by legendary architect Albert Kahn in 1927. One of the highest residences in the building, this unit offers expansive views of the Detroit River and skyline.

Inside, the spacious open layout blends historic charm with modern elegance.

This unit benefits from the NEZ-R tax abatement available to all, occupant or investors, until 2033. This unit also comes with an assigned parking space and a private storage cage.
