Detroit.com: Rock City geo-domain has been sold

Detroit is often referred to as “Rock City” due to the iconic Kiss song “Detroit Rock City” and the city’s rich musical heritage, particularly in rock and roll. A historically significant city in the US, Detroit is the birthplace of the automobile industry and a key center of industrial innovation, hence its other nickname: “Motor City.”

The sale of the matching .com geo-domain, Detroit.com, is a significant achievement. Engineered by Grit Brokerage and GeoCentric Media, the sale of the domain Detroit.com—a 1996 registration—was celebrated across social media.

Said Fred Mercaldo of GeoCentric Media:

“A huge congratulations to both the buyer and seller on the successful sale of Detroit.com This was another fantastic collaboration with Brian Harbin and Michael R. Law of Grit Brokerage, marking our second major sale together following Houston.com last November. It’s always rewarding to see premium city domains find their perfect home.”

Michael Law of Grit Brokerage noted:

“Detroit.com is officially SOLD! Huge congrats to both buyer and seller on a killer name and deal. Over the past year, we’ve closed major geo domains including: Philadelphia.com, Houston.com, Raleigh.com, Japan.org, and Richmond.net”

In a statement, Michael Law told us about recent activity and domain availability of premium geo-domains:

“We’re extremely bullish on premium geo .com domains as they consistently attract serious buyers and continue to prove their long term value. In the past year we’ve closed major deals including Detroit.com, Philadelphia.com, Houston.com, and Raleigh.com with more in the pipeline.

We’re currently representing top tier geo .coms like Scotland.com, Daytona.com, Morocco.com and Alexandria.com. These are rare digital assets with lasting brand power.”
