Canton Welcomes New Apartment Complex: Springs at Willow Creek
Exciting news for residents of Canton! The city is gearing up for a brand-new living space that is sure to raise the bar for apartment living in the area. Developers at Continental Properties have officially kicked off early site work for the upcoming Springs at Willow Creek, a stunning 280-unit apartment complex. This ambitious project will be situated on vacant land along Lotz Road, nestled between Ford and Cherry Hill roads.
A Closer Look at the Development
Spanning an impressive 40 acres, Springs at Willow Creek will feature 14 two-story townhome buildings, each housing 20 apartments. The variety offered in this community is sure to cater to many lifestyles, with options for studios, as well as one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. Each unit will have its own private ground-level entrance and the added luxury of attached garage options, giving residents both convenience and privacy.
Anticipated Amenities and Lifestyle
Residents can expect an indulgent living experience, aimed at providing a resort-like atmosphere. According to Heather Riggs, vice president of multifamily operations at Continental Properties, the complex will boast some excellent amenities. Imagine stepping into a 24-hour fitness center where you can work out whenever it fits your schedule! Plus, there will be a modern clubhouse for social gatherings, and not one, but two pet playgrounds for your furry friends to enjoy. Isn’t that fantastic?
When completed, the community will also feature a lovely gated entrance, adding an extra layer of security for all residents. The surrounding area will be enhanced by decorative fencing, making for a beautiful and inviting atmosphere.
Timeline for Availability
If you’re already envisioning yourself living there, this is what you need to know. Pre-leasing will commence in summer of 2025. That’s when potential residents will have the chance to view the property, explore the finishes of the apartments, and get a good look at the various floor plan options available. It won’t be long until we see the first move-ins happening in the fall of 2025, coinciding with the completion of the community clubhouse and the first building.
A Look Back at Development Plans
This isn’t the first attempt to breathe life into this property. The land was rezoned for residential development back in 2016, with earlier plans that included residential planned development district approvals in 2018. While there were hopes for apartments—and even condos—those plans never quite materialized until now.
Addressing Community Needs
With the ongoing demand for quality housing in the Detroit metro area, Springs at Willow Creek is set to play a pivotal role in fulfilling that need. Erik Hahn, vice president of acquisitions at Continental, expressed enthusiasm about the project’s potential. He stated, “We’re excited to offer well-crafted living spaces with strong connectivity to the surrounding area’s amenities, including excellent schools and abundant retail options.”
As preparations continue, it’s clear that Springs at Willow Creek is going to bring not just new homes, but also a vibrant community to Canton. With a promising array of features and a commitment to enhancing the local area, this development seems poised to be a well-received addition to our neighborhood. Stay tuned for more updates as we inch closer to that summer of 2025!
