Detroit is not just a city; it is a testament to resilience. It is a place where history is written in steel, concrete, and the unwavering spirit of its people. But for too long, parts of our city have been defined by what is missing—missing infrastructure, missing investment, and missing housing options for the everyday Detroiter.
At 7 and 1 Holdings, we looked at the vacant lots and "burnt-out" spaces that others ignored, and we didn't see blight. We saw a canvas. We saw the future neighborhoods of a revitalized Detroit.
Our mission is simple yet radical: To bridge Detroit's housing gap by transforming overlooked land into vibrant, sustainable, and modern tiny home communities.
The name 7 and 1 Holdings is rooted in a philosophy of disciplined growth and exponential impact. In construction and in life, everything begins with The One—the one pilot project, the one solid foundation, the one family given a key to a new home.
We believe that if you pour excellence, integrity, and care into that one starting point, it creates a ripple effect. It creates the stability and capital required to build the next seven. We are not here to flip houses for a quick buck; we are here to build a portfolio of permanent assets that stabilize neighborhoods and create generational wealth.
"7 and 1" is our promise: We start small, we build right, and we grow with purpose.
For decades, the housing market has offered only two extremes: expensive, sprawling single-family homes or cramped, aging apartments. This has left a massive "missing middle" for teachers, nurses, young professionals, and retirees who want quality housing without the massive mortgage.
Detroit faces thousands of vacant lots that are too small for traditional developers to touch. These lots sit empty, collecting debris and lowering property values.
By utilizing high-quality, factory-built Tiny Homes, we activate these small parcels of land. We turn liabilities (vacant lots) into assets (occupied, tax-paying homes).
We bring lights, eyes, and life back to the block.
We do not believe "affordable" should mean "cheap." Our homes are designed to honor Detroit's industrial heritage while embracing a greener future.
Smaller footprints mean smaller utility bills and a lighter load on the planet. Our homes are energy-efficient by design.
We reject the idea that tiny homes must look like sheds. Modern lines, durable materials, and smart-home technology create spaces that feel premium.
We ensure our developments fit the fabric of existing neighborhoods, respecting zoning and the neighbors who have stayed through hard times.
Traditional gentrification often pushes people out. Our model is different. We focus on infill housing—building on the gaps within existing neighborhoods. This brings new density and economic activity to the area without displacing current residents.
When we clear a lot, remove the debris, and plant a garden around a new home, the property value of the entire street goes up. Safety improves. Pride returns.
7 and 1 Holdings is more than a real estate company; we are a proof of concept. We are proving that you can build profitable, beautiful housing in Detroit without compromising on quality or community values.
We invite you to watch us grow. From our first pilot foundation to our seventh thriving community, we are building a legacy that Detroit can be proud of.
