48 units of senior housing to break ground in North End

Cameron Court Senior Village, a 48-unit, senior housing complex, will break ground on April 25 at the corner of Cameron and Alger in Detroit's North End. The project is being developed by Vanguard Community Development Corp. and is located just blocks from the organization's Melrose Square Homes.

Eighteen of the units are 655-square-foot, one-bedrooms and 30 are 855-square-foot two-bedrooms. Amenities include computer, exercise, community and fellowship rooms. The building itself is three stories and is vinyl-sided with brick elements on the facade. It is L-shaped and includes a porch wrapped around the rear.

The project is being funded with MSHDA tax credits syndicated by the National Equity Fund, a Charter One construction loan and a bridge loan from LISC. The apartments will be rented to seniors over the age of 55 that earn 30 to 60% of the area's Average Median Income.

The ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. Please RSVP your attendance to 313-872-7831 or [email protected] by Wednesday, April 23.
