Residential activity may be down in the Ann Arbor area, but retail and commercial real estate, especially in downtown Ann Arbor, seems to humming right along-thank you very much. A couple of examples: 209 S.State Street, the current home of Joe’s Sub Shop, Sava’s Cafe and Name Brand Tattoos. The building, which is actually two old homes, with a commercial facade was purchased in 2008 by a New York City entity for $2.1 million. Chances are good that the new owners will be doing a major renovation in the near future. Also, located in downtown Ann Arbor, the soon to be completed University Of Michigan’s, North Quad residence and classroom building, will only increase the number of businesses that will want to open in the downtown area, to serve the many anticipated downtown dwellers.
