On West Grand Boulevard just north of Vernor in Southwest Detroit, Southwest Housing Solutions has completed renovations at the Grand Apartments. The 14 affordable units range from one- to three-bedrooms and rent for $375 to $700.
"We are committed to providing affordable housing that is high quality and which enhances the quality of life of our tenants and the neighborhood," says Tim Thorland, executive director of SWHS. "In our restoration of the Grand Apartments, we harmonized a deep respect for historical preservation with advanced construction practices and materials." The $2.5 million project included installation of
energy-efficient windows and insulation, central air and heating and
all new appliances. Gated parking is available. SWHS will manage the property and provide support services to residents, who will also have the opportunity to participate in an advisory council.
The Grand Apartments are located at 545 W. Grand Blvd. Anyone interested in an apartment
can obtain an application online or in person at 1920 25th St. Call SWHS at 313-297-1311.
