Shipping Containers Could Become $100K Condos in Detroit

Empty shipping containers could get new life as designer condominiums, if a Detroit-based group gets its way. Architect Steven Flum and developers Patrick and Leslie Horn plan to build a $1.8 million, 17-unit condo project near Wayne State University, the Detroit Free Press reports. The project would stack empty containers four high, cut in windows and doors, install plumbing, stairways and heating, and add amenities such as balconies and landscaped patios, according to the Free Press.
