Housing + Opportunity
Bloomfield Hills housing stock and design-build opportunity
Bloomfield Hills is home to approximately 4,500 residents with a median home value above $1.2 million and median year built of 1972. The city is defined by estate-scale properties along the Long Lake Road corridor, near Cranbrook, and in Kirk in the Hills, many custom-built 20 to 40 years ago when formal floor plans were standard. Owners now want open, connected main floors across the 6,000 to 10,000 square-foot footprints they already own.
That work involves substantial structural scope: multiple beam systems, mechanical relocations, and high-end specifications across large square footages. Bloomfield Hills also remains one of Oakland County's strongest markets for ground-up custom homes. HOA architectural review runs parallel to city permitting across most subdivisions.

Bloomfield Hills budgets run above Oakland County averages. Estate-scale whole-home remodels commonly reach $400,000 to $800,000 once large square footages, multiple beam systems, and high-end specifications are factored in. Custom homes frequently exceed $1.5 million, driven by land values, site prep on wooded lots, and HOA architectural review. Second-story additions on original 1970s ranches can reach $600,000 to $1 million.
We establish firm ranges during preconstruction, before commitment, with change-order averages of 3–7% versus 10–20% typical of bid-based remodels.

Working with Bloomfield Hills permitting and HOA review
Bloomfield Hills operates as an independent city with its own Building Department. Plan review for major remodels and new custom homes typically runs three to six weeks; significant-scale projects require engineered drawings for structural work.
Many subdivisions carry HOA covenants requiring architectural review board (ARB) approval before the city permit application. Exterior changes, additions, and visible roofline modifications must clear HOA review first. We coordinate both timelines in preconstruction so neither delays construction.
