And, yet another - and more ugly - iteration of Kingsley Lane/Lofts:

22-unit condo project proposed in downtown Ann Arbor

Three Ann Arbor developers are moving forward with plans to construct condominiums on the corner of Kingsley and North Ashley on the northern edge of downtown Ann Arbor.

Peter Allen, Mark Berg and Tom Fitzsimmons submitted an application last week to Ann Arbor’s Design Review Board to build a 22-unit condo project, called 121 Kingsley West.

The development is a scaled-back version of what Allen and Berg originally planned to build on the site: a 46-unit condo project called Kingsley Lane that was put on hold in 2007 as the housing market stalled and Pfizer announced it was leaving Ann Arbor.

...

The property is located in the city’s D2 zoning, which has a maximum allowable building height of 60 feet. There is a historic two-story office building at the edge of the sidewalk, which would be retained and converted into one residence.

Two residential buildings would be constructed to the west and south of the existing office building.

The 8,529-square-foot east building would have seven condo units in two stories above an enclosed parking garage. The 29,577-square-foot west building would have 14 condo units in four stories over enclosed parking.

It seems that the already overly-cautious architects in the city got even more so after the recession.
