Redeveloping the Michigan Maple Block in Petoskey
One of the most exciting multi-family developments under J.B. Donaldson’s wing is the Maple Block Flats in Petoskey, Michigan. Located on a historic 12-acre site that once housed the Michigan Maple Block Company, this redevelopment project is a shining example of how history and innovation can go hand-in-hand.
Designed in partnership with Great Lakes Capital, Maple Block Flats will deliver 204 much-needed workforce housing units to Petoskey—a community facing significant housing shortages for its workforce. The project includes:
- 18 Studio Units
- 72 One-Bedroom Apartments
- 114 Two-Bedroom Apartments
Beyond addressing housing, this initiative incorporates community-oriented features such as a new bike and walking trail that will connect residents to downtown Petoskey. Supported by state loans and tax programs, Maple Block Flats epitomizes groundbreaking progress for both local housing and environmental redevelopment. Construction is well underway, and the expected completion in spring 2026 marks a new chapter for the city.
