Shoemaker Data Center

The Shoemaker Data Center is a proposed 14.4-acre facility located at 11031-11081 Shoemaker Street in Detroit, Michigan. The City of Detroit issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit redevelopment plans for this publicly owned land, which was previously used for industrial purposes. The site is zoned M-4 Intensive Industrial District and has undergone demolition of previous structures. The RFP aims to attract development that creates jobs, attracts investment, and aligns with the city's economic growth objectives, particularly in sectors like automotive, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and technology. Details regarding the specific capacity, developer, and end-user are not publicly disclosed at this stage due to RFP restrictions. The City Council has passed a resolution for the Mayor to consider a moratorium on data center development to allow for impact studies.
