Home ownership feels like an impossible dream for too many people these days. But projects like Dorsey Estates by Renovare Development are helping to make that dream achievable. Of the 46 townhomes, duplexes and cottages that will comprise Dorsey Estates, half will be "permanently" affordable, meaning they're deed restricted in perpetuity as affordable, calculated based on area median income (here's the recorded agreement: https://lnkd.in/etCtqPcB) Interested Ypsi residents have a chance to meet with the Renovare team on either 8/24 or 8/27. But we think this development project is a great case study for surrounding communities as well, offering an inspiring example of impact-driven development.

We're excited to rollout a new "Properties" section of our website that brings a lot more detail and interactivity to the presentation of our buildings and units. Check it out!! https://lnkd.in/g_fWDFkj . You can now explore our spaces at the unit level and read more detailed "bios" of our 3 buildings. The goal here is to show our uniform commitment to #attainablyelegant housing. Whether you're in the market for a small studio or a newly remodeled 2-bedroom, we'll put in the work to give you a place you're proud to call home. #ypsi #realestate #renovations #attainablehousing #smallbusiness

Celebrating the start of a new week with this extremely generous testimonial from the work we did with Dylan Cinti and the team at Yarrow! 🎉 “[The Quiggs] are supremely gifted storytellers and great collaborators. I partnered with them on an animated explainer video for my company Yarrow's brand launch, and couldn't have been happier with their process and of course the results. What sets the Quiggs apart isn't just their talent and attention to detail — it's how closely they listen. They took the time to understand fully from me how I wanted my brand expressed, my brand's messaging/values, and how I thought that could come across visually. I cannot recommend them more highly!” — Dylan Cinti, Co-Founder of Yarrow

We're excited to share some photos from a recently completed landscaping project at our N Congress 4plex a few steps from downtown Ypsi! Our goal was to create an outdoor space for our tenants that feels peaceful and private while also serving as an inviting space for family and friends. We're happy with the result! Onto the next project! #attainablehousing #landscaping #plants #michiganrealestate

We will always welcome pets in every single one of our units for one simple reason: How can you say no to this face? (Her name is Neoma btw — a 10-week-old blue nose pitbull puppy and one of our many canine friends 🐶 ) Early on when we started our first remodel, several folks advised us to make renovated units "no pet" apartments because pets diminish the useful life of a remodel. To which we said: Absolutely not. Because our mission is to give people spaces to enjoy with their family and friends. And anyone who has a pet knows: Pets ARE family! And if they scratch the woodwork every once in a while, they make up for it in their loyalty and unconditional love. #petfriendly #petlove #pitbulls #realestate #puppy

The Yarrow team spent last weekend helping a fantastic Ypsi-based general contractor, Gavin Witten, film customer testimonials for the upcoming launch of his website. Gavin is unquestionably one of the "people powering Ypsi," and it's our privilege to support the growth of his brand. Most of the credit here goes to Egi Canie, our cinematographer and crew of 1, whose creative vision and can-do spirit made it possible to shoot testimonials and interviews at around 10 different locations over 2.5 days. More to come! #branding #ypsi #remodels #smallbusiness #cinematography

Jake Cinti and the OPEN Impact Real Estate team's recent lease of a 63K sq ft space to Imagine Me Leadership Charter School was one of the largest commercial real estate transactions in all of NYC last month! Congrats again to the team for securing a great space for this school to flourish! #socialimpact #education #commercialrealestate https://lnkd.in/gCh9S9sW

Attainable elegance before/after: Dishwasher install! At Yarrow our commitment to an "attainably elegant" tenant experience means always investing back into our properties in ways that improve our residents' quality of life. Sometimes that means huge renovation projects, but other times it's smaller jobs like carving out space for a dishwasher. Last Friday we installed an 18" stainless steel dishwasher in this small kitchen and we're pleased with the results! #attainablehousing #realestate #michigan #ypsilanti

Successful entrepreneurial ventures often begin with a very personal mission. In our new episode of "Around Ypsi," we look at how Ypsilanti-based entrepreneur Rachel Blistein turned her childhood challenges managing her curly hair into Original Moxie, LLC — a salon and product line devoted to "providing a space where people can embrace their curls." Check it out! And follow Yarrow for more stories of the entrepreneurial spirit that's helping to put Ypsi on the map!
