DETROIT – A small group of business owners have come together in Detroit's historic Indian Village to bring new life.
Known as "The Collective," several retailers and professional service-providers recently held a grand opening in the English manor home-turned-storefront commercial building at 8325 East Jefferson Ave.

Patrons of The Collective can purchase fresh flowers, have their shoes repaired, buy unusual clothing and accessories, meet with a business development consultant, hire a professional cleaning company, and much more, all in the same building.
The location that once headquartered Planned Parenthood of Southeast Michigan's administrative offices was originally home to Detroiter James Hamilton, a wool manufacturer and president of Herreshoff Motor Co. The building had also been used as a boarding school and corporate business office, but was vacant for about three years before The Collective's arrival.
Apart from leasing space to professional retailers and companies, The Collective is open for public use, including special events and conference room space is available for hourly rentals. One of the biggest advantages that Wynder and her partners say that their new location offers is accessibility to pedestrian or bike traffic and proximity to homeowners in the neighborhoods around Detroit's busy Jefferson Avenue.
