69 new homes plus rehabs for Kercheval Estates

Granite Building Company is working to build up to 69 new single family homes in the area bounded by Kercheval, Charlevoix, Chalmers and Phillips. The project, called Kercheval Estates, also includes rehabilitating existing homes in the area in partnership with the non-profit Detroit Housing Group; nine have been completed.

Gwen Lewis, the owner of Granite Construction, explains that the homes are built after they are purchased. Each house can be customized to the purchaser’s needs; the homes start at $175,000 and 1,300 square feet.

Lewis notes Kercheval Estate’s proximity to Grosse Pointe, Mack-Alter Square, the revitalization of East Jefferson and other residential development like Marlborough Estates as some of the area’s amenities. She plans for 53 additional homes to be built for phase 2.

There are three models onsite that are open weekdays from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and on Saturdays from 2-6 p.m.
