CVS to keep façade on downtown Ann Arbor space

Building a new CVS in downtown Ann Arbor won't be easy, but the developers will probably be able to pull it off without many passersby noticing.

Excerpt:

What promises to be downtown Ann Arbor's first façadectomy doesn't look like it will be an easy process. CVS Pharmacy plans to tear out everything except the façade in its new home next to the University of Michigan's campus.

The national pharmacy chain will be moving into 209 S State, which is the 2-story building between the State Theater and Buffalo Wild Wings. The challenge is that the building behind the storefront facade is a former single-family home.

"There isn't much historic work worth saving other than masonry facade," says Aaron Vermeulen, principal of Ann Arbor-based O-X Studios, which was redesigning the building a year ago before CVS purchased it. That sale became final last week.
