Behind the Scenes – Renaissance Place Rolls Along

Last October, Muskegon Main Street talked with Todd Conzemius, project manager for Triangle Construction about the progress of Renaissance Place, a 55 and older residential community being developed by Brookstone Capital. Today, the construction is almost complete and the project is ready to be handed off to KMG Prestige, who will be handling the management of Renaissance Place upon completion of the building in mid April. To find out the latest on this next phase of the project Muskegon Main participated in a luncheon held by KMG and Brookstone Capital to describe the project to prospective residents.

MS: How is the construction progressing and when do you expect occupants to move in?

TS: Construction is moving along smoothly. We anticipate late March or early April 2008 for Occupancy!

MS: What are you telling prospective residents about the completed units? In addition to details about the units, what kind of a community can residents expect?

TS:The Apartments are styled with convenience, beauty and quality in mind. In apartment laundry facilities, hickory floors, stainless steel appliances, 2 full bathrooms, ceramic tile, and other quality features are only a beginning of what Renaissance Place residents will enjoy! We anticipate a close, warm, friendly community of active individuals who will participate in activities together. We will, as a management team, provide a host of services for our residents to insure their comfort and happiness.

MS: I understand that the units will be for rent and that there are some restrictions on who might be eligible to rent an apartment. Please tell us the details.

TS: Renaissance Place is an LIHTC program through the IRS. What this means for applicants is that they need to fall within certain income guidelines to be eligible to rent. This is based on the number of persons in the household. An example would be a 2 person household would need to earn a combined income at or below $29,760. We encourage anyone interested to call to get further income guidelines from our office.

MS: What do you feel this project will add to the mix downtown Muskegon?

TS: We believe Renaissance Place is an exciting addition to the continued growth and positive improvement to the downtown Renaissance area. Our new residents would provide additional source of disposable income to Muskegon’s merchants and help with the revitalization of downtown as a destination for retail, dining, and entertainment venues.

MS: What about downtown Muskegon do you see as helping to make this a residence of choice for potential occupants?

TS: The vast availability of cultural, dining, entertainment, and other nearby services will be an enormous benefit to our residents. More importantly, Renaissance Place would provide quality convenient housing for senior residents who wish to live near the lakeshore area.

MS: Definitely exciting to hear that more people will be moving downtown Muskegon in the near future. Thanks for your work with this project!

TS: We are very excited to open doors to this Beautiful new home for Seniors in Muskegon. We have had a great amount of interest since we broke ground in August, 2007. We have several applicants who are anxiously awaiting their keys!
