St. Clair, MI – March 2, 2022 – PK Companies, a family-based real estate firm in Okemos, MI, invested over $2 million in the rehabbing of Clairewood Apartments in St. Clair, MI. The work was completed in September 2021 and residents have moved back in to enjoy their new windows, flooring, trim, appliances, plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, cabinets, vanities, counter tops, doors, and new paint. The project also entailed new roofing and siding.

Oakwood Construction out of Okemos, MI was hired for the construction work.

The new construction has achieved Enterprise Green status. According to their website, “Enterprise Green Communities, the standard for sustainable futures, is the nation’s only national green building program designed explicitly for green affordable housing construction.”

The project used funds awarded from the IRS/MSHDA Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) Program.

Residents stayed with friends or family during the construction, or stayed at a provided hotel room.

This community is within walking distance to shopping, dining and entertainment. Each floorplan offers generous living space along with a fully equipped kitchen. Property amenities include a playground, laundry facilities in every building, and emergency maintenance services. Heat, water, sewer and trash is free to residents. Rents are based on income and Section 8 vouchers are accepted. A barrier-free and rental subsidy waiting list is available.

“We are so excited to see the upgrades and improvements to the property at Clairewood inside and out! This has been needed for a long time and we are so happy to provide our residents with a fully upgraded and remodeled apartment!” said Marea Powell, director of property management for PK Companies.

Prospective residents are encouraged to call the Clairewood Apartments leasing office at (810) 329-3052 to get on the waitlist for when a unit becomes available.
