A Workforce Housing Community for Residential leasing
The Albert Kahn Apartments is a 73-unit workforce housing project in downtown Jackson Michigan. The project involved the rehabilitation of the City’s historic Citizen Patriot Newspaper plant & office and a new construction addition which includes apartment units and commercial space. After a short few months the residential component of the project was significantly leased. The project also opened with one of the commercial spaces leased to a Pilates Studio, Coterie Jackson. The project was financed with tax credits from MSHDA and a conventional first mortgage and received a PILOT from the City of Jackson.
