Jeffersonian Apartments, Residential high-rise building in Detroit, United States.
Jeffersonian Apartments is a 30-story residential tower in glass and steel on East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. The building sits between the avenue and the Detroit River waterfront, with a parking structure built into its lower levels.
The building was completed in 1965 by Rossetti Architects, a firm based in Detroit. It was built during a period when the city was developing new residential towers along the riverfront.
The building sits right on the Detroit River waterfront, which sets it apart from most other residential towers in the city. People who live there enjoy direct views of the river and the Canadian shore on the opposite side.
The building is close to Belle Isle and the MacArthur Bridge, so the riverfront is easy to reach on foot from the surrounding area. On-site parking is available, and the location is convenient by car.
The site slopes down from East Jefferson Avenue to the river, which means the street entrance and the waterfront level are not on the same floor. This natural drop was used to tuck the parking structure into the hillside, keeping it out of sight from the avenue.
