New $20 Million Riverfront Residential Development

"A $1 million Community Revitalization Program performance-based grant has been awarded to Harbortown Riverside, LLC and Harbortown Riverside Financing, Inc. to construct a 164,620 square foot, five-story, riverfront residential apartment building within the existing Harbortown complex on approximately 4.6 acres in the City of Detroit. The property will be redeveloped by Harbortown Riverside, LLC’s owners Scott Jonna and Jordan Jonna. The project is expected to create a total capital investment of nearly $20 million and three full-time jobs. The residential apartment building will include 134 rental units, with a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. All units will offer views of the Detroit River"

Any idea on when this might actually start?

This was discussed in a thread here in the last year. While I can't say I find the renderings in the April, 2012 Curbed article very exciting, I recall seeing something more recently than that [[townhouses, perhaps?) that were much uglier. Along the time of that other thread, IIRC there was also talk of the residents of the Harbortown Condominium tower suing the developers, as it would partially block their view of the river.

The townhouses were that development idea for the parcel by the Globe Building, wasn't it? It looked mediocre, one of those "Walkable living" deals where they would build the townhouses and never finish the rest of the project, leaving awkward houses without the retail or community space.
