Executive Summary
Project 1417 is all about returning retail to the space located at 1417 Van Dyke. The building itself needs moderate renovation. It’s our goal to have a specific commercial tenant in place to dial the renovation to their needs.

PS02 _ 1417 VAN DYKE PS02 _ 1417 VAN DYKE
The charm of West Village is largely related to the architectural history of the neighborhood as well as its walkability. 1417 Van Dyke is no exception. Project 1417 Van Dyke is all about returning retail in a historically commercial space while adding to the walkability of the neighborhood. After an extensive study of the building and the neighborhood, the team put together a “Call for Entries”. A panel of Judges consisting of representatives from The Villages CDC, Revolve Detroit, Practice Space and the building owner carefully reviewed each proposal. After a series of interviews with top candidates, the panel narrowed down the entries to three
finalists. The three finalists (in no particular order) are Paramita Sound, The Villages Reading Room, and Honey Vibe Yoga. Each finalist is detailed further in the book. In their own words they describe their business plan and how they envision occupying the space. Additionally, you can see a vignette of their proposed business and a conceptual floor plan. In addition to discussing the potential commercial occupants of the space, this book will make the case for 1417 Van Dyke as a project overall. First and foremost, the project makes sense on paper with a debt service coverage ratio of approximately 1.3. But this project is a lot more than just num-
bers. It’s about contributing to the history of a neighborhood. Not only will the redevelopment of this historic storefront/residential space tie in nicely with the existing and recent commercial additions in the neighborhood, it will grow the overall strength of the commercial node at Van Dyke and Agnes. This commercial node at Van Dyke and Agnes is critical to the future success of the neighborhood. More and more people are finding themselves attracted back to the neighborhoods with an identity. People are tired of the big box model and are seeking spaces with a unique identity and a community in which they may consider themselves a member. 1417 Van Dyke is exactly this type of commercial development.

PS02 _ 1417 VAN DYKE
Management Alex Howbert is born and bred Detroit. He was raised in Indian Village, attended Cass Tech High School in the corridor and returned to the West Village neighborhood in 2004 after attending University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Since his return to the neighborhood he has been working with his father to restore a historic apartment building at the Agnes and Van Dyke intersection. Alex feels a real personal connection to the neighborhood and is really excited to see the direction things are heading.
Professionally, Alex maintained a career in construction management before taking a position in Hamtramck to oversee a $15 million grant to rehab existing homes and build new infill homes. After the grant Alex decided to pursue a lifelong desire to own and operate his own business and oversee his own developments. In 2013 he purchased the storefront at 1417 Van Dyke along with a package of homes and one other storefront. He co-founded Detroit River Sports which had its opening season on Belle Isle over the
summer of 2013. In November of 2013 Alex oversaw the construction of the Detroit Institute of Bagels in which he is a co-owner with two other partners. Alex is excited to take his skills to 1417 Van Dyke and be a part of helping a new business through the process of opening.

Historic West Village is quickly becoming a busy and exciting district in the City of Detroit. West Village is one of Detroit’s most architecturally diverse neighborhoods featuring homes designed for automakers, attorneys, and captains of commerce. Featured styles are reminiscent of the Romanesque, Tudor Revival, Federal, Georgian, Colonial Revival and Arts and Crafts movements. Today, West Village is home to an eclectic and diverse population of all races, income levels, family sizes and interests. With so many more young people working and playing downtown,
West Village is seeing a big influx of folks seeking a nice community–feeling neighborhood with room for a family. This renewed interest in the neighborhood is really making a difference. Homes are being rehabbed and businesses are opening. Most recently we have seen Detroit Vegan Soul Food, Craftwork, Tarot and Tea, and Parker St Market open. All are at the Agnes and Van Dyke intersection, with the exception of Parker St Market, which is at Parker and Kercheval, another budding commercial district a short two blocks from Van Dyke and Agnes.
Although we do talk a lot about all the new people and businesses coming to the neighborhood we would be remiss if we neglected to mention the existing tight– knit community. It’s one of the greatest assets to the neighborhood. There is the West Village Association, Shipherd Greens Garden, and a few different block clubs. All of these folks have been working hard to keep the neighborhood looking a feeling great and it is thanks to all of them that people and families moving to the city are looking to Make West Village home.

Craftwork is a great new bar and restaurant now occupying the space many in the neighborhood once knew as the Harlequin Cafe. Before is was the Harlequin a few people in the neighborhood remember when the space was occupied by a drugstore with a soda fountain. Craftwork is doing an amazing job and shortly after opening they have become one the city’s newest hot restaurants, often with long waits for a table.
Detroit Vegan Soul Food was the first of the recent new businesses to open on Agnes in the past year. They have an amazing unique menu that is exactly as it sounds. The food is so good and hard to find they have actually become a destination for people, some even traveling to visit them from out of state. Their space is a well designed, clean and bright spot in a storefront adjacent to Craftwork.
Parker Street Market, the most recent new business in the neighborhood, is a small–scale local market with a great fresh look. Located at Parker and Kercheval, the market has set itself right in one of the nighborhood’s gateways and is quickly becoming a favorite spot for neighbors looking for a great fresh market in walking distance where they can always find eggs, milk, and some produce. Additionally, they offer a good range of locally produced food products.

The 1417 Van Dyke building was built in 1895 and is a classic Victorian design. From the time it was built it has mostly been occupied as a grocer, and was at one point a dress maker’s space. The Commercial Space: The storefront is the first floor of a three story home located in the heart of West Village. The retail space has 18 ft. of frontage on Van Dyke and is approximately 900 sq.ft. The rear of the storefront leads out to a covered deck with potential for three season applications. Off the deck a small patio/ courtyard could be installed for outdoor seating in a secluded landscaped area.
There is opportunity for a live/work setup in either of the two apartments above the storefront. The front apartment has the capability of being connected directly to the storefront space via the front stairwell. The rear apartment would simply enter the storefront through the back door of the building. It is the goal of the building owner to fully restore the facade of the building as much as possible to match the original design, including full storefront windows and door. The Residential Space: The front second floor apartment is approximately 600 sq.ft. and enters off Van
Dyke. This is the unit that can be easily connected to the storefront space for live/ work applications. The rear apartment occupies the back half of the second floor and the entire third floor. This apartment has an amazing second floor deck off the rear of the house.

THE HOUSE / The Back
“Many of my favorite places boast secluded back patios ideal for hanging out with neighbors and friends” - Alex Howbert
The back of the house, pictured to the right, offers up a unique neighborhood feel with this back patio/ garden space. The potential uses for the back of the house are unlimited for whoever takes over the space. It is an ideal space
for a garden, cafe seating, a community gathering space, or an event space – just to list a few possibilities. Both the storefront and the second floor apartment have porches overlooking the yard. We can’t wait to see how 1417’s outdoor space is utilized!

The backyard of 1417 Van Dyke can be taken advantage of to create an intimate and comfortable outdoor space for its tenants.

The outdoor space of 1417 Van Dyke is designed to create intimate spaces that can be shared between the building’s tenants and the residents of the surrounding houses. A series of partially enclosed wood decks provide a surface for tables and searing, with a stone walkway connecting them. Two geometric plant beds accent the hardscape, planted with a naturalistic mix of grasses and cooltoned perennials for both easy maintenance and visual enhancement. PS02 _ 1417 VAN DYKE

PS02 _ 1417 VAN DYKE
These options vary in the effect that they create, ranging from explicit openings in the mass of the fence to more of a screen effect. The different fencing options also allow for varying degrees of privacy, ranging from almost complete transparency to almost complete privacy. A fencing option can be chosen according to the needs and desires of the eventual tenant of 1417 Van Dyke.
Among the most important features of the backyard landscape design are the fences that enclose the wood decks. The fence, rather than acting as an impermeable barrier, functions more as a sieve, allowing some social interactions to pass through.
These fences attempt to shift the fence from an anti-social object to a catalyst for social interaction, creating a backyard space in which both privacy and openness can be achieved at once.
To achieve this effect, a variety of options have been designed to create permeability.

Due to its history (and future) as a retail establishment, 1417 Van Dyke abuts the sidewalk in front of the building. Although this means that there is no front yard, there is a small setback of paved surface that will be used to maximum effect. Small tables will be placed outside in the warmer months, giving a cafe feel to the space and greatly enhancing the sidewalk culture that is currently lacking along Van Dyke Street. As the neighborhood continues to grow in both its residential and commercial sectors, the activation of small outdoor spaces such as this will become an important part of what makes the West Village such a desirable place to live, shop, and do business.

The call for entries proved to be a great road to follow for this project. We had a great turnout to the open houses and received a lot of proposals. The buzz and interest in the property was truly priceless.
The business that is able to open up in the space will benefit from this kind of approach by already having a good deal of momentum behind them before they even start build-out.
After a panel of judges reviewed the proposals and interviewed candidates, three finalists were selected to begin a second round of the competition in which they will be asked to flesh out their financial projections, think more critically through what they need in terms of build-out and what it will cost, and seek advice from industry peers.

POTENTIAL TENANTS / Villages Reading Room
Potential Tenant #1 Villages Reading Room My vision for the 1417 Van Dyke house is a communitycentered, event-driven bookstore. The bookstore will sell books, magazines, and gifts, but will focus on creating a sense of PLACE conducive to gathering and fostering the exchange of ideas. The store will have a “reading room” feel with tables and chairs. In addition, coffee and small bites will be offered, making it an ideal place to meet a friend, host an event, or simply get a cup of coffee and read. The space will be as welcoming as a friend’s living room, and the backyard will provide endless possibilities for events. These events will be an eclectic offering of literary themed gatherings such as 60
PS02 _ 1417 VAN DYKE
a book club, poetry reading, and story time, as well as the not-so-literary cooking demonstration, wine tasting, or gardening class. The collection will be primarily nonfiction; this will focus on art, design, food, and local history. In addition, the store will offer a slightly smaller used fiction and nonfiction book collection. Magazines will also have center stage and motivate readers to come in on a regular basis for the latest edition. The bookstore will be curated to have a little something for everyone in terms of books, bites, and community. – Amanda Itria
PS02 _ 1417 VAN DYKE

POTENTIAL TENANTS / Villages Reading Room
The Villages Reading Room will be a bookshop with a cafe that provides a space for gatherings and events. It will cater mostly to adults in the books and events offered. The strategy to include food is to create a warm environment while also inviting patrons to come to the store on a consistent basis. The bookshop’s collection will focus on four main categories: new nonfiction books, used books, magazines, and literary inspired
62
PS02 _ 1417 VAN DYKE
gifts. New nonfiction books be the largest collection with an emphasis on art, design, cookbooks, health, and local history. A smaller used books section will include classics in fiction and nonfiction. A substantial magazine collection will feature niche titles in the fields of art, design, food, architecture, and writing. The store will also offer literary inspired gifts and locally-made artisan home goods.
In addition, a small collection of children’s books will be sold. This will spotlight classics that would be appropriate for any home library, or ideal as gifts. Customers can also order items upon request to be picked up instore. A small seasonal menu will be offered. This will emphasize simple food ideal for lunch or a snack, such as a farrow salad or croissant with jam. Coffee, tea, and bottled beverages will be served.
Events will be held on a weekly basis. They will begin with gatherings that are reading focused such as a book club or storytelling, but can range from a cooking demonstration to gardening workshop. This will help promote the complementary books sold, while also driving traffic for future visits to the bookshop. 1417 Van Dyke is the perfect space for the bookshop, which will utilize the first floor, second floor, and back-
yard. Upon entering, the patron will see a bar to sit at and have a cup of coffee. To their left will be a magazine shelf to browse, and to the right, new books that have just arrived. In the back of the store will be a couch, tables, and chairs. This room looks out on the deck and backyard, which will be the location for events in the warmer months. The second floor will have the remainder of the new collection and the used. Chairs and side tables will be peppered through-
out to provide reading and browsing sites. The 1417 house lends itself to the welcoming environment the bookshop will have. With the careful curation of books, furniture, and plants, it will feel like a living room or a home library. Yes, it is a bookshop, and yes, there is a cafe, but it is primarily a gathering space to share ideas and passions that we find in books, but that we also find in one another.

Management Amanda Itria has an eclectic food and literary background. She is half of the pop-up restaurant team Midollo. Previously, she worked as an Adult Librarian at the Roseville Public Library. Prior to that she worked for Supino Pizzeria and the natural food company Simply Suzanne. Through these experiences she realized how much a local business can contribute to a neighborhood by having a presence and providing a significant service for a community. As a librarian at the Roseville Public Library, Amanda had the privilege of purchas-
ing books in subjects that she loves; these included books on cooking, carpentry, art history, painting, photography, and journalism. She created programming and recommended books for patrons to read. These experiences would translate directly into the operations of a bookshop.
Amanda’s academic, professional, and personal background is varied enough to wear the many hats needed to own and operate a small business. Her interests are wide ranging enough to recommend a book. She wants to bring these varied elements of print, ideas, and art together and share them with friends and community.
Amanda earned her Master’s in Library & Information Science from Wayne State University with the intention to move out of Michigan and work as a librarian at a university. But she does not want to leave Detroit. She wants to work for herself, and she wants to work in the city that she loves and lives in.

Potential Tenant #2 Honey Vibe Yoga My vision for Honey Vibe Yoga is a community space that is a true reflection of yoga: loving, vibrant, conscious, healing, unifying, and transformative. I want to bring this spirit to every level of my business and community, and manifest my vision by offering a warm and inviting space. A space that makes everyone who comes through Honey Vibe’s doors feel like a welcomed friend, with an authentic smile, a cup of tea, and a clean, cozy, and supportive space to practice, lounge, and meditate. Modern medicine has started to embrace what yogis have known for a long time: that, in the hands of a gifted teacher, yoga has a profound power to heal. Through 68

regular workshops, small group classes and private one-on-one sessions tailored to the local community, yoga has helped countless people to manage conditions, reduce symptoms, restore balance, and regain health. I envision a core schedule with an emphasis on classes for seniors coupled with a robust schedule that will also fulfill the needs of families, pregnant women, and single adults. I anticipate classes that welcome all levels, where no previous experience is needed to enjoy them. In every yoga or meditation class, clients will have ample opportunity to increase healthy flexibility in both body and mind. – Emilie Kahn

I would like to build Honey Vibe to be the next evolution in a sustainable business that promotes health, wellness, community, and conscious living both on and off the mat. I want to strive to make an eco-built studio that is a model of sustainability, minimizing our collective environmental footprint and maximizing social justice. “Seva� means selfless service, and it is a core tenant of yoga and part of Honey Vibe’s mission to support and contribute to our community in a positive way. Honey Vibe is dedicated to making yoga and holistic wellness services available to individuals in need, and to nurturing a sustainable, caring community through 70

a rich class schedule and innovative peace education services. My immediate goals for the physical space are fresh air, filtered water, and freedom from toxins. I am currently working at a studio that was featured in Yoga Journal as a standard for how to run an eco-friendly studio. I plan to incorporate as many of these steps as are financially viable, and to add steps as revenues allow, but I am 100% committed to making environmentally responsible decisions in how I run the studio, with as little negative impact on the environment as possible. I want to carry a practice of sustainable design through to the daily
operational choices as well. For example, by purchasing all recycled or organic products for office use, reducing waste through using glass instead of paper, or having a water filtration system. I would like to create a warm, welcoming space, with room for clients to sit, relax, have tea, and store their shoes during practice. I would like to balance that with creating as much space as possible for a practice area. Generating a practice area is very flexible, and ultimately, I would like to accommodate at least 20 students per class while using the remaining space creatively as a welcome area.
