Not knowing where you are talking about here are some details: The property must meet health and safety codes, it must fit the General Plan, it must be contiguous with use on the street and the tract, not cause parking problems, not cause utility stress, neighbors can object, you may need architectural or engineering, plans, specs, drawings to submit with your proposal, there may be a public hearing, it costs money, you will want to walk the neighborhood to convince the people tp the left right and rear to be on your side...

No I actually would not. 3 of these are for sure irreplaceable due to location, architecture, lack of anything similar, etc...and could not replaced for 50% for the current value.But I definitely get the point of your question and it is a good one..... 

My background is in architecture and I currently work for a large general contractor in the commercial/industrial sector.

Detroit is a "Future City" and as such is in position to stand out as the USA's version of what other emerging cities are experiencing in terms of growth, modern infrastructure, transportation, architecture, etc. 

I'm really into designing, rehabbing, architecture, and real estate.

I work at an Architectural/Engineering/Surveying (AES) firm and regularly work on these types of projects.

With my architecture background, I currently look for deals that have good potential for my taste.

I can also use my Architectural design skills to create 3D Renderings and floor plans of your design goals.

There is only one architectural firm around and they quoted me $5000 for drawings, which feels high?
