The DDP provides thought leadership on a broad range of timely issues affecting our community and advocates on behalf of Detroit residents and small and local businesses and convenes corporate philanthropic and government partners.
The mission of the Downtown Detroit Partnership is to cultivate economic and social impact in Downtown Detroit by connecting public, private and philanthropic sectors, providing stewardship of public spaces, and developing programs that engage and benefit all.
DDP’s real estate portfolio and district attract millions of visitors annually and Downtown Detroit has emerged over the past decade as one of the fastest-growing entertainment and cultural districts in the United States. With over 10 billion in recent investments and over 200 million of which has been made in public spaces alone, we are excited to join this network of like-minded organizations to learn and benefit from shared experiences and diverse leadership.
