J. Sinclair Luxury Penthouses is the name of a 15-unit development to be built at 416 Longshore Drive overlooking the Argo Cascades along the Huron River.
Prices will start at $2.8 million, with some units going up to $4.9 million, said JD Lindberg of Huron River Holdings LLC, which is backing the luxury project.
Designed for both elegance and comfort, the condominiums will range in size from 2,700 square feet to 3,600 square feet, counting only interior space, according to plans.
They also feature private terraces ranging from 545 square feet to 2,450 square feet, allowing for seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living with stunning views of the city.
“From a timeline perspective, we are actively selling units on the market through Rinehart real estate agents Lisa and Bryn Stelter,” Lindberg said.
He said construction will begin as soon as there are enough pre-sales, perhaps two-thirds of the units under the purchase agreement.
“At that point, we will be able to immediately move toward closing the financing and then proceed with construction,” he said, adding that he hopes to break ground in 2025.
