The Albert

The Albert brings new life to the historic site of a former Ford Motor Company assembly plant, while honoring the industrial heritage that defines its story. Named for architect Albert Kahn, whose original 1920s facility once stood here, the project thoughtfully incorporates salvaged historical frieze panels into its façade, and carries subtle automotive references throughout the interiors. Circular and arched forms, bent metal details, grille inspired ceiling elements and leather-upholstered banquettes reinterpret classic automotive design through a refined, contemporary lens.

Throughout the resident amenity spaces, furniture and furnishings play an important role in balancing the building's industrial character with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Hutch Contract partnered with Ryan Companies on furniture procurement, bringing together pieces that complement the architectural details while supporting the everyday ways residents work, gather, and connect. Among the standout moments is the co-working space, where custom millwork, a ladder detail, and thoughtfully considered furnishings create a welcoming setting for both productivity and community.
