Homebuyers Deserve Better
We know firsthand what it’s like to buy a home in Detroit, and how hard it is to find anything built in this millennium.
At the same time, thousands of lots in great neighborhoods sit vacant, with no clear way for everyday people to turn them into homes.
We started Keylight to close that gap and make building a new home in Detroit easy.
Why We Build
We’re rethinking how new homes get designed, built, and sold in Detroit.
Our Builder,
Our Neighbor
John Boros founded Keylight and lives in one of our homes, on the same block where we’re building today.
Tour a Keylight home and you’re meeting the person who built it.
Where We Stand
We believe building better homes means building stronger neighborhoods, and creating places where people can plant roots and thrive.
Community First
We live and build here. Every Keylight home is designed to strengthen the block, contribute to stability, and support long-term neighborhood growth.
Missing Middle
We focus on right-sized, walkable homes that help rebuild Detroit’s Missing Middle by offering options that have long been out of supply or out of reach for most Detroiters.
Reconnect Detroit
Detroit’s neighborhoods shouldn’t feel like islands. Our infill work restores gaps on the block, strengthening connections to parks, schools, and local businesses.
