A rural real estate development challenge

Blackstone Harbor Apartments offers 24 units of affordable housing in the waterfront village of Sister Bay. This rural real estate development is the kind of challenge Northpointe Development, Inc. thrives on—taking a community that truly needs affordable housing and making it a reality, despite rocky conditions.

Affordable homes for families

Smaller communities often struggle to get the property development services they need for affordable housing, as finding both the funding and the labor needed creates extra barriers. Northpointe Development, Inc. had to find a way to work through several barriers at Blackstone Harbor.

  • The bedrock, located only a few feet under the ground, was too uneven to build on, making it necessary to blast out the rock before building a foundation.

  • The rural location made it a challenge to get contractors to the area to complete the real estate development project on time.

  • Meeting with community planners and the community as a whole to explain the need for and value of affordable housing in the region.

Affordable family apartments in a rural setting

Northpointe Development, Inc. used its real estate development expertise to bring affordable housing to a rural area of Door County with Blackstone Harbor Apartments. The 24-unit complex has enabled a number of families to thrive in the community.
