Current Status
Redeemer Ann Arbor currently meets in rented facilities while we await the renovation of our new building.
In 2021 we purchased 525 Detroit Street, formerly the Treasure Mart, as well as the adjacent house at 521 Detroit Street. Both structures are historical buildings. We are in the process of renovating 525 Detroit Street to become our church building, hoping to occupy it by late 2026.
525 Detroit History
Originally built in 1853, the building was used as a planing mill until it burned down in 1869. It was rebuilt by John G. Miller later that same year. The new building was a steam-powered planing mill specializing in windows, doors, shutters and gingerbread trim until 1910.
Later, it housed various businesses until 1961 when the building was the home of Treasure Mart consignment store, a beloved Ann Arbor fixture for nearly 60 years.
Redeemer is restoring the building to its appearance in 1874. We are located 10 blocks from the University of Michigan central campus, a half block down Detroit Street from Zingerman’s Deli.
