  • The Mark: Built With A Terrific Team!

    The Mark

    Builders are the “face” of every structure that’s built, but it takes literally hundreds of people to take any building from concept to completion.

    And so as we closed the last units at The Mark yesterday, we pause to recognize those hundreds of people who made it possible, from the architect, the engineers, the attorneys, the lenders, the title company, the suppliers, the contractors – the list goes on and on.

    Collectively, they formed a team of which we’re so proud and with which we're so pleased to work.

  • Glazier Woods: Once An Important Stop On The Underground Railroad

    Original Glazier Home

    Today, Glazier Woods is an idyllic setting for new homes, but the site – located just off Glazier Way - was once a welcome refuge for weary travelers who were escaping the tyranny of slavery.  

    It’s no wonder, then, that while we were building the homes, I often stood there and thought, “If only this land could talk,” for few building sites have such an historically significant story to tell. 

    It began in 1833 when Richard Glazier moved his family from New York to Ann Arbor which was incorporated as a village that same year.

  • Naming The Mark: A Tribute to Dr. Mark Kaminski

    Dr. Kaminski

    Tuesday, July 19, 2016

    Buildings are often named after people to pay tribute to their achievements.  Such was the case when we were in the early stages of planning a condominium building at 318 West Liberty - a building now nearing completion - and my husband Alex suggested "The Mark."

    For us, it was personal.  Fourteen years ago, Dr. Mark Kaminski, Director of the Multidisciplinary Lymphoma Clinic at The University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, saved my life.

  • Street Named After Ann Arbor Veteran

    Lillie Lane

    When it came to naming the street in Ayrshire Woods, a subdivision we developed off Ayrshire Road in Ann Arbor, we had only one thought.

    It would be named Lillie Lane in honor of Gary Lillie, a well-respected and well-liked commercial real estate broker whom we had known for years.

    But Gary’s real passion was helping fellow veterans.  He served in the U.S. Navy, fought in Vietnam, and was a strong advocate for veterans.  For several years, he hosted a weekly broadcast program called Veterans Radio, a program he helped launch.

  • Cat Lover Makes Extraordinary Move To Protect Cats From Construction

    DNE
    When my husband Alex and I first walked the site of the Liberty Car Wash property at 318 W. Liberty, thinking it would make a great spot for condos, we noticed a few feral cats at the back of the property.

  • Making Way For The Mark

    Mark Begins
    On March 23, Bill Bush - the first of literally hundreds of people who will work on The Mark - climbed into his excavating machine at 10:30 A.M. He cranked it up, raised its claw and bgan disassembling the car wash to make way for The Mark, condos to be built at 318 W. Liberty Street.

  • Site of The Mark Condos Welcomed The Metzgers to Ann Arbor

    The Metzger Home

    Long an icon in the fabric of Ann Arbor, Metzger’s Restaurant has been serving traditional German fare for 87 years.  And the Metzger family’s first home in the city was located on the site where The Mark Condominiums are poised to rise.

    The Mark Sign

    Downtown Ann Arbor is about to see The Mark! 

    Demolition of the former Liberty Car Wash, which closed December 31, 2014, will soon begin to make way for the new, seven residence building.

    After nearly two years in the making, we couldn’t be more excited!

    And if you’re excited about downtown living, give me a call.  But hurry – these residences are going fast!

Newell Barnard's Ingenuity and Saginaw's Boatbuilding Heydey

Record Run Mural

Boats long plied the waters of the Saginaw River and its tributaries, carrying people and goods from one village to another, but when boats with gasoline engines were introduced in the early 1900’s, interest in recreational boating soared.
