Lakeside site condos going up on Liberty St. at the Belleville Bridge

Six site condominiums, each a different color, are under construction on Belleville Lake next to the Belleville Bridge.
The six on North Liberty Street will complete the planned unit development (PUD) approved by the city of Belleville several years ago, but not completed.
Timothy Breault of Breault Homes purchased the property and launched into building the “coastal modern” design on the lake. Breault, who lives in Plymouth, has offices in Canton and Naples, FL, where he has constructed many homes on the water.
He said the starting price for each, freestanding home is $485,000, with lots of additional features available.
When asked about the deteriorating seawall along the lakeside property, Breault said he has talked to contractors and the needed repairs will be done in the spring.
He said they will put walls at the ends of the repaired seawall and connect to the adjoining repaired seawall after the current condominiums and city do their work.
The city is opening bids April 2 on its seawall repair for Doane’s Landing park and the current condo association is expected to use the same contractor for its work.
Breault said the seawall wasn’t built correctly in the beginning. He said it will not be a problem for his upscale development.
He said he wants to talk his wife into moving from downtown Plymouth to one of his lakeside homes. He said he has an open floorplan with nine-foot ceilings, eight-foot doors, and oak flooring throughout.
Breault said the homes are true lake homes instead of cottages. He said the exterior will be with stone and wood and no vinyl siding. There are four bedrooms and a loft and views of Belleville Lake from every level, from the walkout basement to the second floor.
Breault said he plans to have all six done by the end of the year and sold. One already is sold.
Jeffrey Stabnau, a Belleville native now living in Pittsfield Township, is listing the site condos as sales manager of Real Estate One in Ann Arbor.
He said he has the site condos listed on line and is getting interested buyers from out of state, some employed by Toshiba.
Stabnau said Breault usually has other people oversee his building projects, but he has taken a personal interest in the Belleville condos.
“He’s really excited about these and it’s fun to see him work,” Stabnau said.
