Marquette Companies recently announced the grand reopening of The Maxwell apartments in Romulus, Michigan, where the firm has completed significant renovations to the 312-unit community.
The $8-million revitalization project covers repairs to previously deferred maintenance issues as well as property updates. Exterior upgrades include new and repaired hardscaping, restoration of the pool and deck along with new furnishings, repaired and upgraded building exteriors, replacement windows and the addition of a dog park.
The community clubhouse was upgraded with a renovated fitness center, updated finishes in the residents’ lounge along with the installation of a catering kitchen and a new leasing office. Renovations to the units include new cabinetry and countertops in the kitchens with black appliances, flooring and paint. Hallways and common areas throughout the community’s 26 buildings were also renovated.
Marquette worked closely with city officials prior to acquiring the property and throughout the renovation and used local vendors for the construction work.
Built in 1972 as Morgan Manor, the property was a popular home for pilots and flight attendants due to its proximity to the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. The pet-friendly community offers studio, one- and two-bedroom floor plans ranging from 650 to 850 square feet. Monthly rents start at $885 for studios, $985 for one-bedrooms and $1,029 for two-bedrooms. Additional community amenities include tennis courts, which were repaired as part of the exterior work, and a children’s playground.
