The City of Coldwater is taking the next step toward bringing new housing opportunities to the area with a proposed residential development on more than 17 acres of city-owned land.
During a recent meeting, the Coldwater City Council voted to move forward with the proposed sale of approximately 17.3 acres located off South Willowbrook Road, east of the Sauk River Forest condominiums. The property is expected to become the future site of a new residential subdivision developed by Allen Edwin Homes.
The proposed development would feature approximately 36 attached single-family homes designed to provide modern layouts, low-maintenance living, and new housing inventory within the Coldwater community.
Planned New Homes in Coldwater, Michigan
The homes currently being proposed are expected to range from approximately 1,600 to 2,200 square feet and are planned as market-rate housing, pending all necessary governmental approvals.
According to project discussions shared during the council meeting, the development may be completed in multiple phases, with an estimated seven to ten homes constructed annually.
The undeveloped property has remained dormant for years after a previously planned residential project was never completed. Because the site currently lacks roadway access and utilities, the project would also require significant infrastructure improvements as part of the development process.
Supporting Housing Growth in Southern Michigan
As communities across Michigan continue to experience demand for new housing opportunities, developments like this help create additional homeownership options while revitalizing underutilized land.
The proposed Coldwater development reflects continued investment in new construction housing throughout Southern Michigan and highlights the importance of creating thoughtfully planned residential communities that support long-term growth.
Allen Edwin Homes has been consistently ranked among the nation’s Top 100 Builders and has built homes throughout Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio for decades. The company is also known for building RESNET Energy Smart certified homes designed to support energy efficiency and long-term value for homeowners.
What Happens Next
The proposed purchase agreement will now remain available for public inspection for 30 days as required by the City Charter. A final vote regarding the sale is expected during the June 22 Coldwater City Council meeting.
If approved, the project would move into the next stages of planning, engineering, and governmental review before construction could begin.
