Detroiters are special. This city makes you. Now it’s your turn to invest back in it, bringing your experiences, skills, and ambitions to be born right here in Detroit. Detroit isn’t just one of the ‘coolest places to visit’ according to Travel & Leisure; it’s an even better place to build a life. As Vogue says, “Detroit is having a major moment.” This is your sign to not let it pass you by.

After all, Detroit is in your blood, in your imagination, and in your memories. Whether you grew up here, studied here, or said ‘whatupdoe’ at your family reunion, Detroit is the kind of place you’re searching for wherever you go. Your people are here, opportunity is here, and the kind of life you’ve been dreaming about is possible–only in Detroit. You can make an impact on the world–in your career and in your community-and still kick back to enjoy your life, all courtesy of the 3-1-3. You can get a front row seat to world-class art, musical genius, world-renown architecture, and sports contenders on every corner, plus a table or a ticket at the hottest spot in town. You could even start your own. Nothing stops Detroit.

You’ve been wondering if it’s time to make Detroit home? Well boss up, then pack up. 

Detroit’s greatest strength has always been its people. That includes the ex-pats on loan to other cities across the states. This “alumni network” of people who already know and care about Detroit can be an asset–especially when we welcome them home.

Choosing where you’ll invest your energy and build your future is voting with your feet. The place you choose to live benefits from your tax dollars–an investment in local quality of life; from your expertise in the local talent pool–one in demand from Detroit’s fast-growing industries and innovation ecosystem; and from your investment–as a customer to local business, a homeowner in your community, and beyond.
