Developer Agrees to Move Restaurant

ROYAL OAK, MI-Local civic leaders had frowned on a liquor-serving establishment, so Ann Arbor developer and restaurant owner Jon Carlson will now create two office and retail sites in his $5-million plan.

ROYAL OAK, MI-Ann Arbor developer and restaurant owner Jon Carlson has been forced to change plans for a $5-million office, retail and residential development Downtown. The city commission had indicated it might not grant a liquor license for a restaurant called Union Brasserie, which would have gone in the street level and basement of a four-story building proposal.

City leaders say the restaurant was too close to other bars in the popular nightspot area of Main Street. So, Carlson said he’d move the restaurant into another building about a quarter-mile south. Carlson still plans on building the four-story facility, with offices on the second floor and condominiums on the top two floors.

The restaurant would move into a closed golf store, where another restaurant plan had fallen through a few years before. The city will hear the new plan Thursday. The new building will also feature a café and office space, according to the new plans.
