Eddy takes viewers inside an active real estate development with Fabiola Fleuranvil, founder of Icon Heritage Partners, at the Russell Woods Senior Living Community — a 77-unit affordable senior housing project in Detroit’s Dexter-Linwood neighborhood.

Standing on site, Fabiola walks through the full story behind the project: how she acquired a long-vacant 12-story building just days before the COVID shutdown, the years it took to assemble the capital stack, and why this development is designed to be catalytic for the surrounding commercial corridor. She explains how Detroit’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund, transit access along Dexter, and intentional placemaking shaped her long-term vision for the area.

The conversation goes beyond construction updates, diving into Fabiola’s journey from single-family investing and fix-and-flips to large-scale development, her decision to leave Miami for Detroit’s Black-led development ecosystem, and the realities of navigating capital, risk, and representation as a Black woman developer.

This episode offers a rare, on-the-ground look at what it really takes to bring a complex community-centered project to life — and why ownership, patience, and ecosystem building matter just as much as the buildings themselves.
