The Vision
We envision a vibrant, walkable, and thriving near-west side of Detroit, where historic charm meets modern convenience.
Mission and Vision
A vibrant, densely populated section of Detroit’s near-west side where residents are able to purchase necessities and enjoy amenities without having to leave the neighborhood.
Full.Live will create a bustling commercial district for nearby residents and establish identity in a section of Detroit’s near-west side primed for investment with existing programs and infrastructure developments already in the works.
Core Values
Detroit residents deserve nearby amenities and viable businesses in their own neighborhoods. The majority of businesses in the neighborhoods do not serve the residents, and the boom of new business and development in the downtown core has little to no affect the daily lives of Detroiters in this area. By restoring commercial properties and bringing amenities to the neighborhood, Full.Live will create a sense of community and loyalty that will increase quality of life for current residents and attract new residents and businesses to the area.
Full.Live will prioritize preserving the historic character of the neighborhood by rehabbing existing structures as a first option. By preserving the historic character of the neighborhood, this plan aims to create a sense of continuity and connection to the past that will enhance the community's identity.
This neighborhood has as much character as any other place in the city. It needs a focus, epicenter, and more visible identity. Full.Live will boost the visibility of the existing neighborhoods of Russell Woods and Oakman Blvd Community, not erase them. By establishing a clear identity around the communities, Full.Live will invigorate current neighbors, attract new visitors and businesses, and invite new residents that share its values and vision.
