Taller building, smaller units: Gilbert plans micro apartments in Capitol Park
Micro apartments are on the way to downtown courtesy of Dan Gilbert in a building taller than what was previously planned.
The building planned for construction at 28 W. Grand River Ave. in Capitol Park is planned to have 219 units spread across 12 of the building’s 13 stories, according to a document to the cityBoard of Zoning Appeals dated Thursday.
First, we’ll have to do a little math to get to the micro apartment side of things.
The building, which was originally planned to have 10 stories with up to 175 units, would have approximately 101,000 square feet, making each floor about 7,800 square feet.
Subtract the first-floor retail space, and we are left about 93,000 square feet of space for the 219 units [[425 square feet).
But when you factor in space needed for stuff like elevators and hallways and other ethings, we are left with units just above 300 square feet.
