Groundbreaking set for Castle St. Johns<\/strong> – Friday, October 21<\/p>\n

The much anticipated Castle St. Johns Senior Housing project, to be constructed at the corner of Spring and Higham streets in downtown St. Johns, is about to become a reality. The Developers, Garrett and Phillip Seybert of P.S. Equities Inc., based in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, have announced that they anticipate breaking ground for the project in October. <\/p>\n

The project will be a four story building featuring 30 two bedroom apartment units for low to moderate income seniors with rents ranging from $361 to $800. The project will also include a community room and lobby area with full kitchen and fireplace to welcome residents. Unit amenities will include full service kitchen appliances, washer and dryer in each unit, air conditioning and window blinds. In addition, there will be one carport space per apartment unit included in the rent. <\/p>\n

The project has been in the works for almost two years and was a collaborative effort between the City of St. Johns, the Downtown Development Authority and the Developer. The project is being financed through Great Lakes Financial Group out of Cleveland, Ohio in collaboration with Red Capital Group of Columbus, Ohio, along with Cinnaire, a non-profit based in Lansing, Michigan who facilitated the required equity through the purchase of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that were allocated to the project by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.<\/p>\n

The 4.2 million dollar project is expected to be available for occupancy in September of 2017. Individuals interested in rental information can call (248) 228-8816.<\/p>\n

The groundbreaking ceremony for Castle St. Johns will be held on Friday, October 21st 10:00 a.m. This event will take place at the corner of Spring and Higham Streets in downtown St. Johns.<\/p>\n
