Ferndale Lofts on the 9 set to show off first unit this Friday

Lofts on the 9 will unveil its first unit Friday evening, several weeks before the project is set to wrap up.Lofts on the 9 is the little condo project that could, fighting its way through tough timing in an even tougher economy and the toughest housing market in a generation. But the developers are still optimistic, letting it be known that people are still lined up to buy their product and most of the retail space has been leased.The development’s first residents are expected to begin moving in around Thanksgiving. Their new home will be one of the choice living options in downtown Ferndale. Lofts on the 9 is on East 9 Mile Road just east of Como’s Restaurant and across the street from the Ferndale Public Library. The 4-story structure features units that are priced from $149,000 to the mid $400,000s. They range in size between 500 and 2,100 square feet, however, the 2,100-square-foot loft can be expanded up to 2,700 square feet by adding a rooftop deck. Each unit comes with a ground floor parking spot next to the building.The group of developers behind the Lofts on the 9 project also built the Troy, Main and Center street lofts developments in downtown Royal Oak.For information, call Adam Wolfson, sales broker for Lofts on the 9, at (248) 336-9600 or at (248) 535-4900.Source: Adam Wolfson, sales broker for Lofts on the 9Writer: Jon Zemke
