The Michaels Group, Builder and Developer is
about to the start construction on more homes at
its Woodfield Estates project off Route 9 in Malta.
The company said the project will include 24
single-family homes as well as some commercial
space.
Woodfield Estates already has 52 single-family
homes that were built in 2009. The homes to
be added by the Michaels Group will be similar
in both the style of the current homes as well
as the lot size, according to Luke Michaels,
customer service manager. The new homes will
also have access to the existing basketball and
tennis courts.
“The owners of the new 24 homes will be
able to enjoy all of the current amenities,” said
Michaels. Amenities are covered by an owners’
association fee.
Part of the commercial space is approved for a bank, Michaels said. He did not disclose which
bank. The Michaels’s Group is also planning to
move its headquarters into part of the commercial
space. Currently, the commercial space
is slated for just the bank and Michaels Group
offices, but Michaels said that could be subject to
change, depending on the size of each business.
“We are looking to relocate our office from its
current Route 9 location. We think this would be
a great spot for us,” said Michaels.
Before construction begins, the company is
waiting for permits from the state Department
of Health and Department of Environmental
Conservation.
Construction is expected to begin this fall.
Michaels said the homes will be on the market
in the spring.
The Michaels Group has been a builder in
the Capital Region for over 60 years. Its Malta
