A joint venture between Hines and Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG) has broken ground on a mixed-use development at Briarwood Mall, a regional mall in Ann Arbor. 

Owned by Simon, Briarwood Mall opened its doors in October 1973. The new mixed-use component of the property, which sits about 2.5 miles south of the University of Michigan, will include a four-story luxury apartment building, Harvest Market grocery store and additional retail space surrounding an activated outdoor plaza. 

The partnership has broken ground on the multifamily component of the project. The community will offer 370 units in studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations with in-unit washers and dryers, quartz countertops and smart home technology.
