City of Pontiac Approves Rezoning for Affordable Housing Development by Maple Valley Real Estate
Pontiac, MI – April 1, 2025 – In a unanimous vote, the Pontiac City Council approved the conditional rezoning of a vacant 2.56-acre parcel near Pontiac General Hospital. The rezoning changes the site’s designation from P-1 (Vehicular Parking) to R-4 (Multiple-Family Residential), allowing for the development of a new 90-unit affordable housing community.
The project is being led by Maple Valley Real Estate, a Michigan-based firm committed to creating high-quality, accessible housing across the state. The Pontiac development is part of the company’s broader mission to invest in communities through long-term, sustainable housing solutions.
Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with an estimated project timeline of 24 months until completion. Once finished, the development will provide much-needed affordable housing options for families and individuals in the Pontiac area.
“We’re proud to partner with the City of Pontiac on this important initiative,” said Noah Lenk, Managing Member of Maple Valley Real Estate. “This development will not only activate an underutilized site but also bring lasting benefits to the community through stable, quality housing.”
This rezoning approval marks a significant step forward in addressing local housing needs and aligns with broader efforts to support inclusive, community-driven growth in the city.
