High-Rise Towers Planned for Ann Arbor Lot
/in SE Michigan /by Tracy WillisThe Ann Arbor Housing Commission is finalizing plans that call for a 20-story tower and a 14-story tower buildings. The city is leveraging new tax revenues to build affordable housing that could fund 1,500 new units over the next 20 years. The city’s plans include 370 housing units with a little less than half of them for tenants earning up to 60% of the area median income. The remaining units would be at market rate. The 14-story tower would include 90 rental apartments, and the 20-story tower would include 280 housing units. The new dwellings will include a mix of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
Northville Downs Discussion is Back on the Table
/in SE Michigan /by Tracy WillisHunter Pasteur Homes, Forbes Company, Toll Brothers and Oboran have submitted a conceptual presentation for an August 30 virtual meeting with the Northville Planning Commission. Hunter Pasteur is renewing its efforts to purchase the Northville Downs harness horse-racing facility and surrounding parking lots after a two-year hiatus. In the past, Northville residents were resistant to the increased population and traffic density the original plans would’ve created. Hunter Pasteur representatives held feedback sessions with Northville residents to gain an understanding of what residents would like to see (or not) if the property was developed. After pandemic-related delays and community feedback sessions, Hunter Pasteur has revised its original plans.
Cannabis Retailer Opens in Coldwater
/in SE Michigan, Western Michigan /by Tracy WillisSkymint Inc., Michigan’s largest cannabis retailer, opened its 15th store in half of a vacant department store in Coldwater. According to the company’s president of retail, bigger spaces like the former Sears building are appealing because it gives the store a big blank canvas with which to work. The artsy, boutique-vibed store offers 60 cannabis brands. Skymint has grown quickly since entering the retail market in 2019. It can also be found in Bay City, Big Rapids, East Lansing, Flint, Hazel Park and Lansing.
