Newlab at Michigan Central

Detroit,

Newlab at Michigan Central brings technologists, entrepreneurs, and builders together in an environment where ideas move seamlessly from concept to prototype. Set within a restored Albert Kahn-designed warehouse, the space integrates advanced fabrication and prototyping labs with open workspaces, private studios, and collaboration zones, creating a seamless flow between commercialization, design, and production. At its heart, a double-height atrium anchors the space, offering a central gathering point for chance encounters, team meetings, and community events. Flexible meeting, exhibition, and event spaces foster cross-disciplinary exchange, all within the industrial grandeur of Kahn’s original structure. The project has quickly attracted a full-roster of tenants and created a center of gravity for mobility innovation in the region.
