Groundbreaking of Union at A2 in Ann Arbor, Michigan
In collaboration with our developer partner, The Annex Group, Union at A2 supports a city in need of quality affordable housing, providing not only one of the largest affordable housing communities in Ann Arbor in over 45 years, but a new modern development for 250 households to call home. Union at A2 will also feature a community center, bike storage, fitness center, on-site leasing office, outdoor picnic and grilling area, and a playground. The community’s location was planned with future residents in mind being close in proximity to dining, retail options, a pharmacy, schools, plus conveniently located next to the public bus system.

Update on Detroit Artist Lofts
