Detroit is about to welcome a new HGTV renovation series that focuses on the city’s most challenging property rehabilitation projects. The show, titled “Condemned,” will soon launch on the network, drawing attention to Detroit’s rich architectural heritage and the efforts to restore its historic homes.

This innovative new series will consist of eight hour-long episodes featuring father-daughter renovation team of Kristyn Patterson, an experienced property investor with a keen eye for potential, and her father Pancho Patterson, a skilled builder with decades of construction expertise.

“Kristyn and Pancho have a tangible passion for Detroit and the necessary skills, grit and humor to renovate crumbling homes no one else will touch,” said Loren Ruch, Head of Content, HGTV. “Our cameras will follow the highs and lows as they grow their family business and prove that no home is too far gone.” This sentiment captures the essence of what viewers can expect: a journey of transformation led by dedicated professionals who truly believe in Detroit’s potential.
