Crain's Detroit Business featured a story that mentioned SouthTown.
An excerpt is below:
In addition, the team behind the project say it will be at least a net-zero building — meaning it will remove at least as much greenhouse gases from the atmosphere as it produces, and perhaps even more.
And if it takes root, the large mixed-use Southtown project in Ann Arbor would be completed by someone who took one of the more unconventional routes to commercial real estate development.
“Apart from enjoying Architectural Digest every month and beautiful interiors, I never thought I would be doing this,” said doctor-turned-developer Margaret Poscher.
Reimagining a block
Poscher’s Southtown, being developed by her Ann Arbor-based 4M Consolidated Brands LLC real estate company, would clock in at eight stories and about 247,000 square feet, making it both the tallest, in terms of height, and largest in terms of square footage mass timber building in Michigan, according to a review of data by the Woodworks Innovation Network.
