Canfield Street, Unit 302 (Canfield Lofts), Detroit, Michigan. I am writing to respectfully request that the 2025 State Equalized Value (SEV) be adopted as the 2026 Taxable Value for my property due to material changes affecting both the building and the surrounding neighborhood. Canfield Lofts is a 26-year-old residential conversion originally developed in 1999. As the building has aged, it is now experiencing significant capital pressures related to aging infrastructure and deferred maintenance. Of particular concern is the original geo-thermal HVAC system, which was innovative at the time of conversion but is undersized for the building’s needs and has not been adequately maintained over time. As a result, multiple units — including Unit 302 — have experienced reduced or, at times, non- functioning air conditioning. In addition, the building’s roof is nearing the end of its useful life and will require replacement in the near future, further increasing financial strain on unit owners. These physical and financial realities directly impact marketability and value. Additionally, there has been a measurable decline in the immediate neighborhood’s commercial vitality. The former Traffic Jam & Snug property remains in a fire-damaged and non-operational condition directly across the street. Motor City Brewing Works has recently closed, and Jolly Pumpkin Pizzeria & Brewery has reduced both its operating hours and menu offerings. The loss and instability of these long-standing neighborhood anchors negatively affect both desirability and comparable market values. Taken together, the building’s infrastructure challenges, anticipated capital expenditures, and the downturn in immediate neighborhood activity materially affect the property’s fair market value. For these reasons, I respectfully request that the 2025 SEV be carried forward as the 2026 Taxable Value. I appreciate your time and consideration and am available to provide any additional documentation or clarification that may assist in your review. Sincerely, Randall Fogelman Owner, Unit 302 460 W. Canfield Street Detroit, MI 48201

Docusign Envelope ID: 50224374-E5E6-4CA6-BBFE-AA9ECCBBC630 Real Estate With a stale luxury market, Detroit condos had a gloomy 2025 By Nick Manes Credit: Nick Manes/Crains Detroit Business Detroit condo buyers last year largely eschewed high-end products in favor of lower-cost options like Pallister Gardens near Henry Ford Hospital, now building a second phase. January 22, 2026 05:46 AM Condo sales in Detroit slowed in 2025, falling 5% from a year earlier, according to a new report. Mortgage interest rates above 6% most of the year and a flight to smaller, less costly units resulted in a market that was far from ideal for the city's condo buyers or sellers, according to the newest condo market report by Detroit-based brokerage The Loft Warehouse. Related Birmingham condo listing highlights growing rent-or-buy dilemma Hudson’s condos seek a record price — and a tax break A historic downtown tower is converting apartments to condos Beyond just the slowdown in units sold, the total value of condos sold in 2025 plummeted 17% to $86 million from the previous year as the luxury market went dormant. Still, despite the gloomy numbers, Loft Warehouse Broker Jerome Huez says the city's condo market continues to show signs of resilience as indicators such as price per square foot and inventory remain fairly stable. "The overall strength of the market is there," Huez said. "It's just that 2025 was just a bad year. Perhaps most notable is the exodus away from luxury units as buyers flock instead toward value. In compiling the report, Huez said he saw 19 condo units that hit the market last year at a price above $1 million but with only one sale.

Docusign Envelope ID: 50224374-E5E6-4CA6-BBFE-AA9ECCBBC630 That sale was a 3,000-square-foot unit on Broadway Street downtown that sold in October for $1.85 million, or $616 per square foot — the only condo sale last year to eclipse the $500-per-square-foot mark. By contrast, in 2023 a handful of units surpassed $700 per square foot and one — in the Greektown Exchange building — fetched more than $900 per square foot. Detroit is something of an outlier in the area for its sluggish high-end market, according to Huez. Markets including Birmingham and Ann Arbor remain steady for luxury buyers, he said. Credit: Nick Manes/Crains Detroit Condo units in buildings like Canfield Lofts tend to trade at prices around $300 per square foot, in line with the broader Midtown Detroit neighborhood average. For new developments, buyers last year opted primarily for condos under $400 per square foot in projects such as Pallister Gardens near New Center and Woodbridge Crossing in the Woodbridge neighborhood, according to the report. Prices for resale condos around the city vary greatly, ranging from a couple of buildings with units in the sub-$100 per square foot range up to around $400. That includes the two condo buildings within the Harbortown development along the east riverfront and the Leland Lofts near Lafayette Park. Around the city, $200 per square foot is the average selling point, but it's markedly higher — over $300 per square foot — in Midtown and the central business district. Those averages have been trending down since early 2024, per the report. In speaking with developer clients, Huez said it's important to take a forward-looking view and not get too bogged down over one bad year. "When you dig up a new project, you always look a year or two in the future and the market is still pretty strong," Huez said, pointing
