This is my recording of a resident participation meeting for a proposed development at 1208 South University Avenue in Ann Arbor. The meeting was held on Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 6pm at the downtown branch of the Ann Arbor District Library, and led by representatives from Myefski Architects, Landmark Properties, and the Bonner Advisory Group.
From the meeting notice
The proposed 18-story mixed-use tower includes 259 rental apartments and 5,189 sf of ground-level retail space. The ground floor features a residential lobby, fitness center, leasing area, bike storage, and garage parking. Residential units span floors 3 through 18, with interior and exterior amenities on the top floor. This is an addition to the original plan approved by the Planning Commission on August 20, 2024.
The first public meeting for this property was held on December 5, 2023, which presented plans for a 17-story mixed-use building with 211 rental apartments. The demolition of the existing Galleria building was also discussed, including current occupants Pinball Pete’s arcade, Pancheros Mexican Grill, and the US Post Office. https://a2council.com/1208-south-university-ave-resident-participation-meeting-december-5-2023/
