New Construction Homes at 100 Park Offer Unprecedented Access to Grand Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan
Freshwater Development, a design-forward real estate development firm, today announced the launch of three waterfront residences at The Brownstones at 100 Park.

Priced from $2,700,000, the three residences feature panoramic views of Lake Michigan, up to five bedrooms, a boat slip, multiple outdoor spaces, and private parking. 100 Park is a prime downtown location, within walking distance of award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, beaches, and miles of trails. Traverse City has emerged as one of the most sought-after destinations for both primary and secondary residences, driven by its culinary scene, year-round outdoor lifestyle, and abundant waterfront. As climate resilience becomes a key consideration, the region is drawing increased attention from buyers across the country.

“100 Park blends the sophistication of an urban brownstone with the luxury of waterfront living,” said Andrew McCarthy, Founder of Freshwater Development. “Our team has worked tirelessly to reimagine a premier corner in Downtown Traverse City, and we’re proud to introduce this special development. Each home comes with a private boat slip, an extraordinary amenity in a market where nearby marinas have waitlists up to 5 years. Following the successful debut of 111 State, we’re deepening our commitment to shaping the future of luxury development in Traverse City."
As the first and only downtown residential development with dedicated boat slips, these homes combine protected bay views, multiple private outdoor spaces, and walkable convenience, offering a truly elevated lifestyle in the heart of downtown Traverse City. Constructed of brick and custom limestone, the homes feature double-paned windows and doors, advanced soundproofing, and materials chosen for both durability and timeless appeal.
Upon arrival at 100 Park, limestone steps lead to an arched vestibule and glass-paneled front door with direct sightlines to Lake Michigan. The gated parking enclave is encircled with 10-foot evergreens, ensuring maximum privacy and security within this exclusive waterfront community. Constructed of brick and custom limestone, the homes feature double-paned windows and doors, advanced soundproofing, and materials chosen for both durability and timeless appeal. The properties will be delivered in white-box condition, enabling buyers to collaborate with Freshwater Development to create their dream homes in one of the most sophisticated urban regions directly on Lake Michigan. Owners can choose from a tailored selection of finishes designed to maximize light, views, and space. The residences feature an open concept space spanning nearly 2,500 square feet with up to five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms.
The kitchens at 100 Park are adjacent to the dining rooms, which open onto a private balcony with gorgeous turquoise water views. Design elements include custom inset cabinetry with aged brass hardware, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops complete with full-height backsplashes, an oversized island, and integrated Miele appliances.
The primary bathrooms feature honed Dolomite stone, a spacious shower, heated floors, and a solid oak double vanity with a Carrara marble top. The primary suite enjoys uninterrupted views of Grand Traverse Bay, an ever-changing canvas of shimmering water and light. A separate reading nook offers a quiet perch to take in the bay. The lower level is designed for both relaxation and entertaining with seamless access to the outdoor terrace and private boat slip.
