I would be cautious with Detroit right now. Dan Gilbert was the force driving a lot of the investment into the downtown area, which then resulted in some of the outlying neighborhoods seeing increased investment. However, his health and the succession plan for his empire appears to be a bit up in the air at this point. If I was one of his commercial lenders getting ready to cut a 9 figure check for work downtown, you'd better believe I'd set the pen down for a minute and have a chat.
