Ann Arbor City Apartments Approved
The Ann Arbor City Apartments project was recently approved at a City Council meeting by a unanimous vote. This 156-unit apartment building will be eleven stories at the corner of First and Washington streets. The first four levels will be a city owned parking garage (three of which are underground). Only the top seven floors will contain apartments (16 will be affordable housing units). This project is a joint public/private venture between the City of Ann Arbor and the Village Green Companies. The development has already been endorsed by a local neighborhood association – Old Westside.
Construction is expected to begin next summer. The City parking garage alone is estimated to cost $9 million and will be funded by the Downtown Development Authority. This project did so well in the approval process that Ann Arbor City Council members believe it could serve as a role model for future city developments. The project was passed by a 10-0 vote with minimal conversation. The project has been lauded for fulfilling many local needs such as: public parking, affordable housing, excellent architecture and neighborhood support.
