CURRENT LISTINGS
OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION COLLECTION
WHISPERING RIDGE ESTATES | COMMERCE TWP.
We are down to our final two lots: lot 9 & lot 11. We will be starting a spec home on one of those lots soon, so if you’re on the fence about building your own home from scratch in Whispering Ridge Estates, now is the time to act – let’s chat about it.
Located near Benstein & Glengary in Commerce, Whispering Ridge Estates is in one of the few sections of the township that doesn’t require navigating 2-lane roads while winding around every lake in Oakland County, resulting in commute times that range from 30 min to the Donner Party. Yay! Connect with us for the details!

881 YARMOUTH ROAD | CLARKSTON
Located in Bloomfield Village, this 4 bed/3 bath 3,045 sqft colonial sits on a nearly half-acre/corner lot, within the Birmingham School District.
This home is not currently listed, but is being offered as a pocket listing and priced at $975,000.
Connect with Lori directly with questions or for additional details.

NOVEMBER 2024 NEIGHBORHOOD UPDATES
Avery Place by Robertson Brothers Homes (pictured above) is down to their final building. Located in the shadows of Wayne State’s campus, just west of the Lodge Freeway, pricing for what remains starts in the $370s, and there is an immediate occupancy available.
Mondrian Properties has several completed spec homes available in their Adler Cove neighborhood (no relation to Mark), near Long Lake and John R. The homes are all in the 3,200 sqft range, with 4 bed/2.5 bath, and have recently received price reductions.
TRE Homes has several move-in ready homes, priced from the upper-$500s to mid-$600s. Located in the Wellington Estates neighborhood, near Romeo Plank and 24 Mile, the homes feature 3-4 bedroom options in the 2,500 – 3,000 sqft range.
THE RENAISSANCE CENTER | DETROIT
When General Motors announced their move from the Ren Cen to the new Hudson’s Detroit development earlier this year, questions quickly surfaced about new possible uses for the aging anchor of Detroit’s skyline.
Late last month GM and Bedrock, LLC announced their intentions for the landmark: tear down the front two towers (along the river), and repurpose what remains.
In addition to renovated office space in the towers on the Jefferson-side of the development, they would reduce the number of hotel rooms in the main tower from 1,300 to around 800, freeing up the higher floors for high-end residential.
The removal of the river-side towers would provide greater access to the riverfront.
The $1.6B project would receive roughly $1B from Bedrock and more then $250M from GM, but the balance would need to come in the form of public funding, which so far has received pushback from both Lansing and the City of Detroit.
We love the idea, understanding that the options for a project like this are limited. Adding a residential component to a renovated version this iconic building – particularly in the form of for-sale condos – would be a home run. The loss of the two towers will take awhile to get used to visually, but it’s hard to argue with any project that continues to improve our already spectacular riverfront.

BUILDERS: DON’T JUST LIST YOUR HOMES…
GET THEM IN FRONT OF THE RIGHT BUYERS!
Our website caters exclusively to new-home-specific buyers, so in addition to the usual audiences found on the MLS, Zillow, etc., we also bring you local buyers searching specifically for new homes, by creating original, organic content, and pairing it with a social media strategy that guides prospects directly to your listing; and we do it for less than what resale agents charge.
If you’re already working with a client and they have a house to sell, we can help with that as well – using our knowledge of the construction process, to help prevent any issues with timing, etc., when we list their home.
Get in touch to find out how we can sell your homes (and your client’s home), and save everyone money in the process.
Also… if you like what you’ve seen in our December 2024 newsletter, connect with us to find out how your homes can be featured in future newsletters!
