For the first time since the 2008 housing crash, the City of Inkster is celebrating a major milestone — the groundbreaking of a new affordable housing development that promises to bring both opportunity and stability to local families.
On Friday, dozens gathered to witness what many say is a long-awaited and much-needed moment for the city. The event marked the beginning of construction on Annapolis Pointe, a $21 million investment that will deliver 72 new homes over the next four years. The project will offer a mix of luxury, affordable, and market-rate housing aimed at supporting Inkster’s working families — including educators, first responders, and healthcare professionals.
"This project means the world to me," said Sherri Clarke, a hopeful applicant and financial advisor. "Being a single mother and facing rising costs, I just want to create a stable home for my children and my grandson, who is hearing impaired."
Led by Gajewski Homes and CEO ShaWanna Gajewski, the development is more than just housing — it's a path to homeownership and long-term generational wealth.
“I’m looking forward to becoming a homeowner,” Clarke shared. “I’ve been renting, but I’m ready for the process.”
As construction begins, so does a new chapter for Inkster — one filled with renewed optimism, investment, and community pride.
