New residents set to move into Grosse Pointe Park Brownstones

The new residents at The Brownstones at the Park in Grosse Pointe Park are set to move into their new homes in mid November as workers finished up construction in the project’s first phase.The developer also just opened the sales office and model unit for the 22-brownstone condo development. Only two of the first six condos are remainingand those are now being offered with a $15,000 discount from the starting price of $170,000. The rest of the brownstones will be built as they are sold.The brownstones, built by Bloomfield Hills-based Robertson Brothers, replace seven early 20th Century duplexes that were razed earlier this year along Lake Pointe Drive. It’s part of an effort to replace older rental housing with new owner-occupied units.The development is roughly one block away from city hall, the police station, the library and about one block north of Jefferson Avenue. It’s also a 15-minute drive from downtown Detroit. Each condo has two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms inside of 1,600 square feet. Either a two-car garage or a large one-car garage comes with each unit. There will also be more on-street or on-site parking spots for a total of 55 spaces.The sales office is open Friday through Monday, noon to 6 p.m. For information, call Erica Napolitan at (248) 640-4274.Source: Michelle Byron, spokeswoman for Robertson BrothersWriter: Jon Zemke
