About Us
303 Detroit Street
At the helm of 303 Detroit Street is MAVD (Michael A. Vlasic Development) — the visionary developer and principal investor committing over $30 million to bring this project to life. Founded in 1989 and proudly based in Ann Arbor, MAVD is a development and advisory firm with a reach spanning Michigan and Colorado. Over the decades, MAVD has led projects totaling more than 3 million square feet of commercial space and 1,000+ acres of land, backed by strong capital partnerships and a reputation for thoughtful, place-sensitive design. Today, MAVD oversees a significant real estate portfolio, including 600,000+ square feet of office space and 300+ acres of development land, balancing short-term stewardship with long-term community impact. What sets MAVD apart is its ability to marry strategic vision with local expertise — curating the right mix of uses, setting design standards, selecting trusted partners like Huron Contracting and Savarino Properties, and delivering developments that enhance the neighborhoods they join. With deep roots in Ann Arbor and a vested
interest in shaping its future, MAVD ensures that 303 Detroit is more than just a building — it’s a legacy project. Their leadership guarantees a development that reflects the character of the city, creates long-term value, and stands as a place buyers can be proud to call home.
Huron Contracting, LLC brings a uniquely local perspective to every project. For more than 20 years, Huron Contracting has been building and developing projects that have reshaped Ann Arbor’s neighborhoods — from the Old West Side and Water Hill to the heart of Downtown. Their vision has always been to thoughtfully increase density where it’s needed most, creating vibrant new housing options while respecting the fabric of the existing community.
Huron Contracting has earned its reputation for disciplined execution, superior craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of Ann Arbor’s building conditions and character. Their team excels at balancing rigorous project management with transparency and collaboration, working hand-in-hand with architects, engineers, municipalities, and development partners to deliver projects on budget and with enduring quality.
One of Huron Contracting’s most transformative contributions was 414 N Main Street — turning a neglected parcel into a thriving multi-family building that brought energy and vitality back to a long-vacant stretch of the city.
Additional landmark projects include 121 Kingsley West, 410 N First, 212 Miller, and 309 N Ashley, along with multiple row houses and infill developments scattered throughout Ann Arbor. These projects have not only provided much-needed housing, but have also enhanced the city’s streetscape and reinforced its identity
as a vibrant, livable community.
