Housing + Opportunity
Rochester Hills housing stock and design-build opportunity
Rochester Hills: approximately 76,000 residents, median home value near $380,000, median year built 1988. Housing splits east-west — 1970s and 1980s colonials and tri-levels west of Rochester Road (galley kitchens, compartmentalized floor plans driving whole-home remodel demand) alongside newer 1990s and 2000s subdivisions east along Tienken, Adams Road, and near Stoney Creek Metropark.
Newer homes typically need layout improvements more than structural upgrades, along with first-floor primary suite additions increasingly requested by homeowners planning to age in place. One of our strongest markets for that work.

Working with Rochester Hills permitting and HOA review
Rochester Hills operates its own Building Department at City Hall on Rochester Road. Plan review for residential remodels runs 2–4 weeks; structural work requires engineered drawings.
Many subdivisions carry HOA architectural review separate from the city permit — applying to exterior changes like additions, window modifications, siding, and roofline changes. We review HOA covenants in preconstruction and incorporate approval timelines so neither process delays construction.
