The Residences Water Square

This Black-owned coffee shop in Detroit’s Grandmont Rosedale Park neighborhood to expand in the Residences at Water Square - Eater Detroit

"Detroit Rosa — which flung open its doors in the city’s Grandmont Rosedale Park neighborhood in 2022 — is expanding its footprint within a much talked about new residential development overlooking the Detroit River. According to a media release distributed to reporters this week, Rosa Café + Market is scheduled to open sometime this summer in the lobby of the 25-story glass high-rise Residences at Water Square — at 222 3rd Avenue — built on the former site of Joe Louis Arena. The luxury 496-unit apartment building boasts $4,000 monthly rent for one-bedroom units that feature sweeping views from floor-to-ceiling windows, a rooftop lounge, and other amenities. In February, a grand opening celebration was held for the site. Among the perks in the new building is the 800-square-foot cafe, available to both the public and residents, will offer a variety of grab-and-go snacks and the cafe’s house blend sourced from Fast Haus Coffee Roasting Co., as well as outdoor seating — ideal for folks cycling or jogging around the nearby riverfront and looking for a pit stop to refuel." - Serena Maria Daniels
