Vanguard Real Estate Group is pleased to announce that the Washington Township Planning Commission has approved Yates View Estates, https://online.fliphtml5.com/kskpv/ibte/#p=1, a luxury single-family residential community located along 27 Mile Road, just east of Jewell Road. Vanguard Yates View, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company and affiliate of Vanguard Real Estate Group, received approval to develop Yates View Estates on a 36.36-acre site as part of the established Clifton Corners PUD, a multi-phase residential development within one of Washington Township’s most active growth corridors.
Located within the highly sought-after Jewell Road corridor, Yates View Estates builds on the continued absorption and sustained demand within one of the Township’s strongest residential submarkets. The site represents one of the last remaining parcels of scale capable of supporting a well-designed, for-sale single-family development, with natural features including the Yates Drain corridor, mature vegetation, and preserved open space contributing to its overall character and market positioning.
The approved plan provides for 56 luxury single-family homes, with a layout that prioritizes efficient land planning while preserving key natural features. A significant portion of the homesites will back to open space, wooded buffers, and the scenic creek corridor, creating a differentiated product offering within the submarket. The development has been designed to meet all applicable PUD standards while delivering a cohesive, market-aligned residential community.
Community Features and Development Program
Yates View Estates is planned to deliver homes ranging from approximately 2,300 to 3,500 square feet, with anticipated pricing starting in the upper $800,000s and exceeding $1 million. The community will be governed by consistent architectural standards and material requirements, ensuring long-term value and alignment with surrounding development.
The site plan incorporates public roads, coordinated access along 27 Mile Road, and a comprehensive landscape program. More than 15% of the site is dedicated to open space, with the majority of wetlands and natural features preserved and integrated into the overall layout.
From an infrastructure standpoint, the development will be served by public water and sanitary sewer, with stormwater managed through an on-site detention system designed to discharge at controlled rates into the existing Yates Drain. All improvements will be constructed in accordance with Township and County standards.
Next Steps
With Planning Commission approval secured, Vanguard Real Estate Group is advancing Yates View Estates into final engineering design and permitting. Builder participation and home programs will be announced in the near term as the project moves toward horizontal development.
With this approval, Vanguard Real Estate Group anticipates breaking ground on Yates View Estates in spring/summer 2027. The project is expected to reach completion within two years, dependent on market conditions, representing an estimated $30 million investment in the Washington Township community.
Vanguard would like to acknowledge Washington Township leadership, Planning Commission members, the Township planner, and engineering team for their input throughout the review process. The approval reflects a collaborative approach between the development team and municipality, resulting in a well-executed plan aligned with the Township’s long-term vision.
