Ann Arbor approves Moravian, City Place becomes Heritage Row

Two of the more controversial projects proposed for downtown Ann Arbor are gaining traction on moving forward.

Excerpt:

Though history hasn't always been kind to progressive development in Ann Arbor, there's a real chance that the south side of downtown will evolve into a denser, more vibrant area now that two significant projects are moving toward approval.

First, a deal appears possible for the City Place development. The developer, Alex de Parry, has resubmitted plans that preserve the original houses and call for building dense housing behind them. The new development along Fourth Avenue is called Heritage Row and is planned for Fifth Avenue just north of Packard Street.

The new plans call for 44 one-and two-bedroom apartments featuring a total of 163 beds and 60 underground parking spaces. The original houses, including one of the oldest in the city, will be restored and have three apartment buildings behind them in a layout that is reminiscent of the Chicago- or C-style apartment buildings of the early 20th Century.
