June’s I Spy “is the Ulrich’s building on South University …,” writes Erin Trame, “soon to be another student high rise.” “A 12-story … apartment/commercial building,” adds Sara Kitzsteiner. “I hope the folks in East Hall are preparing for … views … into student rooms,” quips Erin.
David Karl ruminates on the changing landscape, noting that the building will rise on site where “Fred Ulrich took over [and expanded] the bookstore where he worked.” The “Collegian North” is slated to be completed in late summer 2019. “Might there be a Collegian South in the future?” Karl asks. Indeed, the city has already approved another high-rise behind the storefronts on the south side of of the street. “The Southfield-ization of A2 continues,” writes Anne Heise. While David Karl accepts change, he does draw a line: “Just don’t mess with the Walker and Haarer buildings on W. Liberty.”
