The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and Groundswell Design Group, based in Philadelphia, have partnered with students to create a groundbreaking public project in Detroit. This was made possible by a grant of three hundred thousand dollars from Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit and Knight Cities Challenge. This groundbreaking venture will be the first of its kind to incorporate shipping containers.
Urban areas have been increasingly utilizing shipping containers as a major component of their structures. Examples include the Detroit Shipping Co. in Midtown, which is a two-story, indoor-outdoor complex with five restaurants, a three-level mixed-use space in Corktown, an Airbnb-rentable shipping container house, and condominiums in Corktown and Woodbridge.
Cooley, a faculty member of the College of Architecture and Design at LTU and co-founder of Ponyride, pointed out that shipping container projects have emerged in many cities across the United States. The cost of these containers is usually between $1,700 and $2,100, yet the supply of them has grown so much that the prices have gone down, making them a budget-friendly option for building. Utilizing these unused cargo-worthy containers is also a way to be environmentally conscious.
People are increasingly using containers for a wide range of architectural projects, like eateries, workplaces, and retail locations. It is also gaining popularity as an eco-friendly, small living space for those who want to downsize and lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
Located in Detroit’s Corktown district, Three Squared has finished its model property, Trumbull Squared. It consists of two chic and contemporary units with corrugated metal, open-style rooms, and streamlined designs. They’ve also worked on two other projects: Kaline Squared, which will have eight units, and the Rosa Parks condo development, with around 25-30 units.
Every age group has taken an immense interest in this project, from young adults to the elderly. Corktown seemed like a logical choice for the first residential shipping container complex due to its housing crunch and lack of available accommodations.

In the summer season of May 2016, The Fountain Detroit, a restaurant and bar opened its doors to the public in Campus Maritus Park’s captivating beach area. This revolutionary restaurant was designed with a decommissioned 40-foot steel shipping container which was the first of its kind in Detroit!
The full-service restaurant was just in time for the 12th Annual Summer In Parks season offering an array of activities ranging from exercise and networking events to movies and arts. This seasonal attraction stayed open from late May through mid-October and was filled with entertainment provided by both Detroit locals as well as international musical artists.
Gregory proudly proclaims The Fountain Detroit was a revolutionary example of “cargotecture” innovative reuse of industrial shipping containers. Spread across 320 square feet, the space was crafted to provide guests at Campus Martius Park with top-quality food and drinks whether it be for an easy lunch or post-work networking events.
Shipping your container internationally? You will need a cargo-worthy container that has passed a survey inspection. Our network of IICL-certified inspectors can provide an independent survey inspection that ensures that your “shipper-owned container” is cargo worthy/seaworthy. They will provide a one-page inspection detailing any necessary repairs and will certify that your shipping container is structurally sound and good for international shipping .
They will apply a new CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) sticker showing that your container has passed. This sticker is good for 1 year. If your container needs repair, the certificate will be applied once the necessary repairs are made. For more information on shipping internationally Step-by-Step Guide to Shipping internationally
