Avalon makes plans for mid-rise affordable housing in Ann Arbor

It looks like new affordable housing in Ann Arbor is starting to take the shape of a couple of mid-rise buildings.

Excerpt:

More mid-rise buildings are planned for Ann Arbor, this time along Main Street a few blocks north of downtown and west of the Amtrak train station

Three Oaks Development and Avalon Housing want to build a couple of 5-story buildings on the east side of North Main between Felch and Summit streets called North Main. Plans for the structures presented to the city show a suburban-style layout with modern buildings flanked by large surface parking lots.

The developers want to bulldoze seven single-family homes and a small corner store to make way for the project. These buildings have served in a traditional urban neighborhood on Ann Arbor's near north side for about a century.
