opportunity to work closely with some 
of the world’s leading brokers, including 
Fredrik Elkund of Million Dollar Listing 
New York and Mauricio Umansky of 
Buying Beverly Hills and Dancing with 
The Stars. However, it was a surprise 
opportunity that led Charlupski to once 
again eye Detroit and return home.

BACK TO THE MOTOR CITY
While giving a tour in Los Angeles to 
New York City-based Bruce Ehrmann of 
Douglas Elliman’s Anderson-Ehrmann 
team, Charlupski learned of a new 
development happening in the Motor 
City. “I said, ‘What are you doing in 
Detroit?’” Charlupski recalls.
The Detroit project in the works turned 
out to be The Residences at The Detroit 
EDITION, a new and upcoming luxury 
residential project at the historic Hudson’s 
Detroit site, for which Douglas Elliman 
would be leading marketing and sales.
Located at 1208 Woodward Ave., The 
Residences at The Detroit EDITION are 
slated for completion in 2027, with sales 
for high-rise residences beginning this 
summer.
Charlupski asked Ehrmann who the 
sales director would be. He said, “We’re 
looking,” to which Charlupski replied, 
“Well, it’s me. There’s no one who loves 
Detroit [like me] and is from Detroit, 
but also has experience selling high-rise 
luxury new developments.”
The deal was struck, and Charlupski 
landed the job of leading sales for The 
Residences. He moved back to Detroit 
two months ago, setting up shop in the 
city as the project continues to garner 
excitement.

Most recently, General Motors also 
announced the move of its global 
headquarters to Hudson’s, which will be 
the second-tallest skyscraper in Detroit 
and a neighbor of The Residences at The 
Detroit EDITION.
The 45-story tower will include 97 
one-to-four-bedroom condominium 
residences. In all, the entire project 
comprises multiple parts, including a five-
star hotel, retail and commercial space.

CONTINUING A LEGACY
Since returning home, Charlupski has 
reestablished his roots in Metro Detroit’s 
Jewish community. He recently joined 
Adat Shalom Synagogue and Isaac Agree 
Downtown Synagogue, which is in short 
walking distance from The Residences.
He also hopes to continue his family’s 
activism in Jewish Metro Detroit, which 
includes support of both Congregation 
Shaarey Zedek and the Zekelman 
Holocaust Center.
As the grandson of Holocaust 

survivors, Charlupski says honoring 
his grandparents’ memory is one of 
his biggest missions in life. In his new 
home in Detroit hangs a photo of his 
grandparents. “They’re a reminder every 
day that life here is not so bad,” he says.
Charlupski is also working on growing 
his activism in the Metro Detroit real 
estate community. Come February 2025, 
he’ll be heading up the Detroit arm of 
the Real Estate Rumble, a charity boxing 
event that raises money for local charities.
He hopes these efforts will be the 
beginning of a vibrant and rewarding 
career and philanthropic mission in 
Metro Detroit and his hometown Jewish 
community.
“My plan is to definitely stay in 
Detroit,” he says. “
A lot of people have 
asked me, ‘Where are you going next?’ 
But you know, this is home for me. This 
is where I want to establish my roots.”
