24-unit Chesterfield Apartments ready for tenants

The redevelopment of the Chesterfield Apartments, a 24-unit
income-restricted apartment building on Cass just north of MLK
Boulevard, is complete and the building is now accepting tenants. The
Chesterfield underwent extensive and high-quality renovations as
mandated by the Cass Corridor Neighborhood Development Corporation
(CCNDC), the project’s developer.

Pat Dorn, CCNDC’s director, describes the project as “a total gut
rehab, which means that each unit was brought back to four walls, all
new mechanical in the building, and preserved hardwood floors
throughout except the first floor terrazzo. We used any interior brick
wall for the aesthetic effect, all counters are marble, [we used] oak
cabinets, and there are ceramic tiles in the bathrooms.”

The renting process, which is managed by Pinncale, is completely income
driven. The allowable income levels range from $18,582 for one person
to $26,562 for four persons, the maximum number of residents allowed in
each two-bedroom apartment.

Dorn stresses the necessity for income-restricted housing in Midtown.
“In order to keep a mix in any neighborhood, you need to reserve good
housing for lower income people. This is a neighborhood with high
levels of potential employers like Wayne State, Detroit Medical Center,
casinos, and downtown. It’s a good, safe place for people to get
started.”
