Executive Summary
Penrod Manor & Faust Manor Apartments presents a rare "turn-key" value-add opportunity in the heart of Detroit’s 48228 zip code. The current ownership has strategically de-risked the investment by vacating both buildings to perform a comprehensive, high-end renovation of the asset.
With 90% of the units already fully remodeled, the heavy lifting of the capital improvement plan is complete. The property is now positioned for a rapid stabilized lease-up, allowing an investor to capture top-of-market rents in a submarket characterized by high occupancy and a shortage of renovated workforce housing. By leveraging the remaining 10% value-add potential and professional management, the asset is projected to deliver a Proforma Annual NOI of $250,000.
This is an ideal acquisition for an investor seeking a clean, modernized asset with significant immediate upside through stabilization and long-term appreciation in one of Detroit’s most resilient rental corridors.
Property Highlights
Substantial Capital Improvements: 90% of the units have been completely transformed with new flooring, modern kitchen cabinetry, updated bathrooms, new furnaces, all new plumbing and energy-efficient windows.
Optimal Unit Mix: The portfolio consists of two identical 29-unit buildings (58 units total), featuring a uniform 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout—the highest demand configuration for the local workforce demographic.
Strategic Vacancy for Delivery: The owner intentionally vacated the buildings to facilitate a seamless, high-quality renovation, providing the buyer with a "blank canvas" for tenant screening and lease-up.
