City Place was a proposed development on Fifth Avenue. It is now known (in a different form) as Heritage Row.

The group Defend the Ann Arbor 7 has organized to block it, and the Germantown Neighborhood Association was formed with the goal of turning the area into a historic district. The Ann Arbor City Council formed a South Fourth and Fifth Avenues Historic District Study Committee in August 2009.

Eleven people spoke against the project at the meeting. Most said they believed that City Place did not conform to the Central Area Plan, which is the master plan for the area where the project is proposed.

But Planning Commission chairwoman Bonnie Bona said commissioners should only consider how the City Place site plan stacked up against current zoning law, and not the master plan.

• Mid-range housing "City Place" proposed for South Fifth Ave., 24. August 2007 • Murph

At a Planning Commission working session last week, builder Alex de Parry discussed conceptual plans for a four-story, 84-unit redevelopment of six properties he owns on South Fifth Avenue. The properties (some pictured at right) are 407-433 S. Fifth, just south of William St., which are currently houses broken up into 22 rental apartments. (de Parry also owns 403 S. Fifth, on the corner of William, but that property is not included in the plans.)
