McKinley is pleased to announce that it has signed the University of Michigan's Stamps School of Art & Design to a long-term lease at McKinley Towne Centre. Stamps (http://stamps.umich.edu) will occupy nearly 8,000 square feet of prime street level space at McKinley Towne Centre joining Bar Louie, Tios and AT&T, walking distance to all the best restaurants in the downtown, and adjacent to the Michigan Theatre. Construction will begin immediately to create a world-class art gallery and exhibit space. Stamps will join downtown’s diverse and growing community in the blocks stretching from the University of Michigan’s Diag down East Liberty Street to South Division, known as the Ann Arbor Tech Corridor. McKinley Towne Centre is a mixed use development offering 105,000 square feet of class A, high-tech office space and 20,000 square feet of flagship retail space at the nexus of the University of Michigan and downtown Ann Arbor. 

 

"We are honored to have the Stamps School of Art & Design open their downtown art gallery at McKinley Towne Centre. When we first conceived this mix use development over a decade ago, we spoke about making McKinley Towne Centre the connection of ‘Town and Gown’. This transformational project in a walkable, vibrant and urban setting, makes our vision that much more of a reality. We applaud UM for their vision and leadership in making this project a reality, and improving the quality of life in Downtown Ann Arbor. Thanks also to our Owned Commercial Team for serious effort to make this redevelopment happen as well," Albert M. Berriz, CEO, Co-Owner & Managing Member, McKinley.
