The intersection of 14 Mile and Mound roads is on course to eventually get a new apartment complex that will include 308-square-foot microunits.

ARH Land Holdings LLC presented its planned unit development proposal for an Icon Park apartment complex at an Oct. 4 Sterling Heights City Council meeting. The council approved the PUD plan 5-2, with Councilman Henry Yanez and Councilwoman Deanna Koski voting no.

Icon Park will be located on seven vacant parcels, around 5.6 acres altogether, around the 14 Mile-Mound intersection. Five apartment buildings, three stories each, will sit on that land and offer 140 residential units.

A new multi-million dollar apartment complex filled with amenities such as a reflection pond and EV charging stations that is aimed at attracting younger renters in Sterling Heights received the green light this week.

The City Council approved the Planned Unit Development (PUD) project by a 5-2 vote at Tuesday night’s meeting.

“I think it’s a home run,” Mayor Michael Taylor said at the council session. “If we turn it down, shame on us.”
