For more than a century, DDP has served as a trusted steward of Downtown, bringing together business, philanthropic, government, and community leaders to advance initiatives that strengthen Detroit’s economy, public spaces, and quality of life.

The 2025 Impact Report showcases the partnerships and projects that helped shape a vibrant, welcoming, and thriving Downtown over the past year. Inside the report, readers will find highlights from major infrastructure and urban planning initiatives, investments in parks and public spaces, small business support programs, public safety efforts, strategic partnerships, signature events, and research that informs decision-making across the city.
