The Claradale Building

The Claradale Building, the third property in the Springwells on Vernor collection, breathes new life into a mid‑1920s historic structure on Lawndale Street. Once home to a medical research facility and later abandoned for decades, it was in serious risk of demolition. Thanks to a carefully planned rehabilitation, the building’s masonry, windows, wood beams, and architectural character were lovingly restored. Now transformed into a mixed-use property, the Claradale Building offers modern, affordable 1‑, 2‑, and 3‑bedroom apartment units alongside community gathering areas and retail storefronts. Upgrades include energy-efficient systems, contemporary finishes, brand-new appliances, secured entry, and on-site laundry—delivering a thoughtful blend of historic preservation, residential comfort, and neighborhood vitality.
