ANN ARBOR, MI – A new townhouse-style condo development with added sustainability features is headed to City Council for approval.
Ann Arbor’s Planning Commission got a closer look at new renderings of the 22-unit Near North development Tuesday night, Jan. 5, before voting unanimously to recommend council approval of the project.
The development site at 700 N. Main St. is across from the Ann Arbor Community Center where a row of eight houses was demolished several years ago.
Auburn Hills-based Trowbridge Companies is proposing the project, working with Jarratt Architecture and Powell Engineering and Associates.
