CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Continental Properties is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of Springs at Willow Creek, Canton Township’s first residential gated community. Located at the southeast corner of Lotz Road and Ford Road, this premium garden-style development will include 280 apartment homes, offering a selection of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with private ground-level entrances and attached garage options.
“We’re proud to expand our presence in Michigan with the groundbreaking of Springs at Willow Creek, our seventh rental community in the state and second in the greater Detroit area, said Heather Riggs, Vice President of Multifamily Operations. “Residents will enjoy a resort-style living experience, with excellent amenities including a 24-hour fitness center, a modern clubhouse, and two pet playgrounds. Our 30-Day Pledge and commitment to exceptional service will ensure Springs at Willow Creek becomes a place our residents take pride in calling home.”
Springs at Willow Creek is ideally located near the bustling Ford Road corridor, offering easy access to a wide range of popular retailers like Walmart, Sam’s Club, Meijer, and Target, as well as specialty destinations such as IKEA, Lifetime Fitness, and BJ’s Wholesale. Additionally, the area continues to see high job growth. There are over 36,000 jobs within a three-mile radius and more than 715,000 jobs within a short 27-minute average commute, making Springs at Willow Creek a prime location for both convenience and accessibility.
“As demand for quality housing continues to rise in the Detroit metro, Springs at Willow Creek will meet that need by providing residents with a welcoming, thoughtfully designed community, said Erik Hahn, Vice President of Acquisitions at Continental. “We’re excited to offer well-crafted living spaces with strong connectivity to the surrounding area’s amenities, including excellent schools and abundant retail options. Residents will appreciate the vibrant neighborhood and the sense of stability and growth that make this community an ideal place to call home.”
