Construction of Tierra Place in downtown Ann Arbor approved

The Ann Arbor City Council unanimously approved plans for $9-million Tierra Place project, 200 South Ashley, in downtown Ann Arbor Monday night.

The project calls for building an 8-story, 29,512-square-foot building that will provide space for retail, office and residential units. It will be built on the corner of Ashley and West Washington streets where an old vacant single-story structure, once a gas station and car-rental business, stands.

Retail space will occupy the first two floors with enough space for a possible grocery store and cafe. Office space will be reserved for the third, fourth and fifth floors for Project Management Associates. Six luxury condos will be built on the sixth, seventh and eighth floors. A roof pavilion will be built for both residents and office tenants.

An underground parking garage will provide seven spaces. Bike racks will be built in both the garage and the street sidewalks. Wind turbines will also be built on top of the building that will look like smoke stacks to produce energy. A green rook will also be built over approximately half of the roof’s surface.
