A developer has taken interest in nearly 50 acres of land north of Arborland Center, where both a residential subdivision and a large mixed-use project were proposed in the past.

Michael Furnari of Troy, Mich.-based Fairview Companies wants to develop 77 single-family residential lots on property bordered by Arborland Center to the south, US-23 to the east, Huron River Drive to the north and the Woodcreek subdivision and Chalmers Drive to the west.

Furnari did not return requests for comment for more detailed information about the project. Ann Arbor City Planner Matt Kowalski said he anticipates the developer will submit a site plan at the end of this month. There was a citizen participation meeting for the project on Aug. 28.

The property has a single-family residential zoning. The South Pond Nature Area is on the northern end of the site.
