Celebrating the groundbreaking of The Claire in Detroit’s historic Piety Hill neighborhood! 🎉🏢✨
As we embark on this journey towards HER 100th birthday in 2026, we reflect on the incredible journey ahead. Since August 2000, The Claire has stood silently, awaiting a new chapter. Today, we mark the beginning of its rejuvenation, thanks to the unwavering support and collaboration of remarkable partners.
A heartfelt thank you to our equity partners; our public partners at the DEGC, MSHDA, MEDC, DBRA; and to our lenders LISC, Ebiara, Invest Detroit, and MI Saves. Your belief in our vision and dedication to this project have been instrumental.
This milestone wasn’t reached overnight. It took 3 years, 100+ versions of a financial model, numerous construction document revisions, and meticulous value engineering with our architects (Amy Baker Architects and Bold Studio), engineers, General Contractor, and subcontractors. Each member of this collaborative effort brought their expertise and passion to the table, driven by a shared belief in the potential of The Claire and confidence in the ex*****on capability of the CP Team.
We began our journey just a few blocks west of The Claire, on Atkinson Street, a decade ago, with the purchase of one two-family home. The lessons learned from that first project have laid part of the foundation for the company we are today.
Century Partners stands here today because of our deep-rooted care for this neighborhood and community. This development transcends mere dollars and cents, it’s personal. We’re committed to breathing another hundred years of life into this building, preserving its legacy for generations to come in partnership with its residents.
Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey. Together, we’re shaping a brighter future for Piety Hill, rooted in history and poised for excellence. Here’s to the next chapter of The Claire! 🥂✨
