Bellaire apartment complex receiving $2 million makeover
Bellaire, MI – December 16, 2021 – PK Companies, a family-based real estate firm in Okemos, MI, is investing over $2 million in the rehabbing of Village Apartments in Bellaire, MI.
Exterior work is underway and interior work began in September. The projected completion date of the construction will be February 2022.
The rehab project entails replacing roofing, siding, windows, flooring, trim, appliances, plumbing and light fixtures, cabinets, vanities, countertops, doors, as well as painting. Oakwood Construction out of Okemos, MI was hired for the construction work.

The project is using funds awarded from the IRS and MSHDA’s Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) Program.
