Prince Concepts is well-known for creating a distinct urban community within Detroit’s Core City neighborhood, with the integration of public greenspaces and lush greenery at the center of all projects. In 2022, Prince Concepts completed PARK(ing), extending Core City Park with a community greenspace that doubles as a 28-car parking lot. Located in the heart of Detroit’s Core City, the 21,000-square-foot site is generously punctuated with 76 trees, creating a parking lot that is in harmony with nature—underpinning beauty and functionality in a lush urban environment.
