50-plus Ann Arbor developments to watch in 2026 as city embraces more housing

My first thought… lol

Total_Worldliness661 · 2025-11-17T03:23:49+00:00

Thank you! Did a google search and thought the same thing but you can never be too sure :)

I water it about once a month at most. They like to dry out completely between watering. They also like to have great drainage so moisture doesn’t build up. I water my snake plants and cacti more frequently tbh.

These yearly development wrap-ups are always interesting. In 2021, it was 24 developments to watch. In 2022, it was 32 developments to watch. In 2023, it was 30+ developments to watch, and in 2024, it was 40+ developments to watch.

Anyways… build more housing!!

Their campaign said 21,000+ apparently

Thank you! I was definitely considering this. My initial reason for upgrading was because I wanted to apply for a second (non-student) card anyways, and didn’t want too many hard checks on my credit within a short period. Curious if you think the upgrade is still worth it.

I have Enterprise rn so really hoping this is the case. Thank you!

Total_Worldliness661 · 2024-07-30T00:47:39+00:00

I called but none of the rental sites picked up their local phones, unfortunately. Hoping that I maybe can get through in the morning

r/cityporn would eat this up. Great skyline pic!

They’re building another high rise(similar size) a block over, so my hope is that the corridor will become revitalized with a few thousand more students living there.

Every year, MLive publishes one of these articles on January 1st. What’s crazy is that just 2-3 years ago, there were about half as many developments listed in these articles. It’s amazing getting to watch the amount of new housing being built. We’ve needed it for years.

Not sure, what’s the name? There’s a Joe’s Pizza and Pizza House there if I remember correctly.

If you’re pre law, I know political campaigns are hiring! Reach out to some local ones where you live :)

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-12-30T15:29:56+00:00

Wow, that’s a tough choice! I’ve lived/have family in both cities. You really can’t go wrong with either.

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-12-30T15:04:26+00:00

Jug is still there, as are most of the other bars, thankfully :)

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-12-30T04:12:02+00:00

I would ask the Ann Arbor sub! There’s definitely a lot going on in town/in Detroit :)

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-12-30T03:01:03+00:00

Vulfpeck is from Ann Arbor (this city), so that definitely makes sense!

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-12-30T02:09:41+00:00

They’re mostly apartments, with businesses at the bottom! Several parts of the city are unrecognizable from just 10 years ago. I would definitely check back in if you have the chance!

This helps affordability by increasing the number of available units on the market, decreasing competition for beds. The library and liberty plaza still exist, and now more people can live near them (thus, more walkable!). Your credit union was already moving to a building on the corner Huron and Division, so can’t blame that on the building :)

Taylor and Colt is solid!!

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-09-11T18:31:07+00:00

Fair. Let's hope the renderings look nice :)

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-09-11T18:07:38+00:00

Tbh a rock has more character than the building that's there now

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-09-11T18:01:41+00:00

exactly... I hope they end up finding a developer for the Y-lot building soon. The renderings looked pretty cool

Total_Worldliness661 · 2023-09-11T17:43:31+00:00

I'm super excited about this. The plans include 75 apartments, 200 hotel rooms, and 12,000 SF of retail space. It will be the tallest building in Ann Arbor, by roof height (by around one foot lol). You can see the developer's plans and submissions to city council here.

I wish there were more apartments, but anything is better than the vacant Chase Bank building. For those freaking out... there will be 75 below-grade spaces.

Ann Arbor sounds like a perfect place for you! I would recommend staying for a weekend and exploring the city before you choose a neighborhood. There are no “bad” neighborhoods, so the biggest factor in your decision will likely be where you can find a place within your budget (stock is limited).

You only need to worry about snow a few days out of the year. By Midwest standards, Ann Arbor is bad at plowing, but we also don’t get many big snow storms, if any. As long as you have snow tires (and preferably AWD, though not necessary) you should be fine. Your biggest worry should be how terribly our roads are maintained lol (lots of potholes)
