1401 Nicolet Place

Discover timeless modern living at 1401 Nicolet Place, a fully renovated end-unit co-op in the iconic Lafayette Park development designed by renowned architect Mies van der Rohe. This midcentury modern residence seamlessly blends sleek design, natural light, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape—hallmarks of van der Rohe’s celebrated vision.

Inside, the open layout is anchored by polished concrete floors and striking floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the boundaries between indoors and out. Every room is filled with natural light and leafy views, creating a rare sense of serenity in the heart of the city. Thoughtful renovations elevate the interiors while respecting the home’s modernist character, resulting in spaces that feel both fresh and authentic. The living and dining areas offer clean lines and generous proportions, making the home equally inviting for everyday living or entertaining. The updated kitchen provides a functional layout with a seamless flow.

Upstairs, the bedrooms continue the theme of simplicity, light, and connection to the outdoors. The unit’s end location provides added privacy and a greater sense of openness, further enhanced by unobstructed views of the landscaped green spaces that define Lafayette Park. Careful updates complement the home’s signature design elements, from the disciplined geometry of the floor plan to the expanses of glass, ensuring both comfort and architectural integrity.

Step outside, and you are immersed in one of Detroit’s most beloved neighborhoods. The development is surrounded by mature trees, walking paths, and lush landscaping, with Lafayette Park itself just steps away—a centerpiece of the community designed by the celebrated landscape architect Dan Kiley. Residents enjoy green spaces, playgrounds, and trails that perfectly complement the surrounding mid-century architecture. Beyond the neighborhood, you are only moments from downtown, Eastern Market, the Detroit RiverWalk, and the Dequindre Cut, along with an ever-expanding selection of dining, shopping, and cultural destinations.

Combining architectural significance, modernist design, thoughtful renovations, and urban convenience, 1401 Nicolet Place presents a rare opportunity to experience Mies van der Rohe’s vision of city living—where nature, design, and community converge in the center of Detroit.
