This is my recording of a citizen participation meeting held on July 11, 2024 to review a proposed seven story condominium on the former site of Braun Court in Ann Arbor. The meeting was led by representatives from Midwestern Consulting, along with the developer WRE Braun LLC, and architecture firm Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA). According to MLive, the seven properties of the former Braun Court were purchased by Wickford Properties.
From the meeting notice:
The potential project includes redevelopment of the site as a residential condominium building. The proposed seven-story building is roughly 89,000 square feet in gross floor area and would include approximately 35-40 residential units. Parking will be provided beneath the proposed building and will include approximately 53 vehicle spaces and 22 bicycle spaces. The proposed building would also include outdoor spaces such as courtyards, terraces, rooftop decks, and balconies. The associated stormwater management infrastructure and utility improvements are also proposed. Vehicle access to the site is proposed from the existing alley between N Fourth Avenue and N Main Street. The proposed development would require demolition and removal of the current structures.
This project went before the Design Review Board on July 10, 2024 (Legistar)
