TRIBE is an IMPACT real estate development firm that creates holistic solutions and high-quality spaces for residents, entrepreneurs, and communities.


Our Purpose
TRIBE works across several strategic neighborhoods throughout the City of Detroit and SE Michigan. These targeted areas share similar characteristics that make them favorable for development, including engaged community stakeholders, low residential vacancy, strong municipal support, and additional planned investment activity by development stakeholders. Through creative risk management and deal execution, TRIBE is able to drive value at the project level and for the broader community.


About Us
TRIBE Development was founded by Brandon Hodges with the explicit goal of creating more dignified and accessible opportunities for residents and emerging entrepreneurs in Detroit's development ecosystem. TRIBE provides a dynamic approach to community development by working in partnership with residents and municipal stakeholders to drive overall community value and impact outcomes.
