The pukey colors are what make it offensive, really. Otherwise, this style of design is the defacto standard across the nation, at least in similarly scaled markets.
Glad to see the proposal, still. Residential density is slowly creeping north toward the Amtrak station. |
I don't know, even the massing and materials are ugly, to me. The stairwells/elevator towers looked like stacked trailers. To be fair, none of the proposals for this site ever looked nice. Still, it's infill, so it's definitely tolerable.

Gotta hit up AA one of these years to check in on all of these developments...

Nice design!

Was this project ever posted, here? I don't seem to recall this.

Wow! Actually a related development was posted on this probably back when I was living in Ann Arbor to build a tower directly on top of Pizza House. That's why that 2-story addition was so bulky as it could support a taller building above. But this looks way bigger.
Edit: I got a great laugh going to the official website. It's like a JCrew catalogue. No matter what you charge in rents, it's still going to be very collegiate if you know what I mean. |
^ That site is pretty hilarious, and J. Crew is spot on.

I think they could have at least made those 3rd level windows at least match the lower level or renovate all the windows completly. The whole building looks kind of janky.

Some great renovations proposed for what were some architectural turds downtown.

So glad to see Ann Arbor rebound so well from our state recession. While the city didn't get hit as hard as some other cities in the state, it got hit hard enough that it got knocked of the pace it was building up in the first half of the previous decade before the sh%t hit the fan.
|
A project I'd like to see come back from the dead is the Glen-Ann proposal from 2004.

Yeah we don't talk about the developer that shall not be named around here in Chicago. I'm happy to see the lot has been sold. It's a great location. You're right by the hill dorms so retail and restaurants would do very well in that location. And apartments up top would probably be some of the most desirable for students that would board buses at Victor Vaughn heading to North Campus or walk over central campus.
