Agreed - it looks like a smart addition for Frankfort. Good density without appearing too out-of-place.
Acme (Township) -
I just came across this pretty ambitious development, which is underway along Acme Creek, just east of Traverse City. Dubbed "KOTI" (Finnish for "home"), the mixed-use development was initially unveiled in 2017 and then delayed by the pandemic, before finally breaking ground in summer 2021. It will include around 76 residential units (both condos and rentals) as well as two different commercial zones. From the designer's (Influence Design Forum's)

KOTI is a walkable, northern Michigan residential development with quality luxury condominiums and vacation rentals. It includes two proposed mixed-use commercial neighborhoods that will feature small shops and restaurants that support not only the resort, but also the local community. Located on Acme Creek and just minutes from downtown Traverse City, KOTI is an ideal destination for getaways, family vacations, reunions and sporting events.
There are various sizes of individual small homes to choose from, all designed and planned in a park-like setting. The development will include a hierarchy of streets designed in a neighborhood fashion with streetlights, trees and sidewalks. KOTI will be family-friendly and community-minded, provide engaging experiences, recreational opportunities, and leisure-time activities including shopping and dining out.
