AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
Developing quality affordable housing
that strengthens
communities.
Lumira Development creates and revitalizes quality, affordable rental housing. We're a locally rooted developer based in West Michigan, with a commitment to the communities we serve across Michigan and the midwest.
ABOUT LUMIRA
A local developer focused on affordable housing.
Lumira Development is a West Michigan real estate development company focused on affordable housing. We were founded to address a clear and growing need: quality, professionally managed rental homes that working families and individuals can afford in our communities.
We create new housing and revitalize existing properties, with a focus on quality that lasts. As an emerging developer, we bring deep local market knowledge and a careful, disciplined approach to every project — from the first site to the finished community.
OUR APPROACH
How we create.
01
Local first
We build where we live. Our core focus is Kent, Ottawa and Allegan Counties, where we understand the neighborhoods, the market, and the people who make projects happen.
02
Impact driven
Good development takes discipline and the right expertise at each stage. We move deliberately — assembling what each project needs to be built well and managed for the long term.
03
Quality that lasts
Affordable shouldn't mean temporary. We're focused on well-built, professionally managed properties designed to strengthen neighborhoods for the long term.
