MCC acts as developer and investor on real-estate projects that meet our mission

We develop urban and rural housing-focused properties throughout Michigan and provide both for-sale and rental units in communities that lack adequate middle-income housing options. Our housing units are predominantly priced for individuals and families earning 60% to 120% of Area Median Income (AMI), but also offer unrestricted options as well. Through creative financing structures and partnerships with lenders, private investors, foundations, authorities and state and local governments, we can preserve the affordability of our developments long-term. All our rental properties are managed on-site by MCC staff and, as a non-profit developer, we can prioritize affordability and quality over investor returns.

At Michigan Community Capital, we recognize the importance of placed-based development and the long-term economic benefits of people-centric communities. Our rental properties are mixed-use, located in walkable communities and heavily focused on access to amenities – from restaurants and entertainment, groceries and banking, to walking trails and bike paths.

Our approach to development is to identify community needs and working with local partners and organizations with shared goals. This is reflected in the variety of MCC’s developments throughout Michigan. From our land-trust single-family housing development in Grand Haven, to our historically sensitive duplex and single-family development in Flint, to our mixed-use rental property in Cadillac, all our developments meet a specific community need. Many of our sites are challenging “brownfield” properties with multiple impediments not found on undeveloped land. Through our extensive knowledge and experience with design and construction, our use of community and economic development tools and collaboration with local communities, we can tackle troubled or sensitive sites and execute highly impactful projects.
