PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP, MICH. — Gibbs Planning Group has proposed Sutherland Square, a neighborhood multifamily development in Pittsfield Township, just south of Ann Arbor. The walkable community will feature cottages, loft and townhomes, apartments, duplexes and larger family homes with varying price points and amenities as well as shops and offices clustered around a town square. Many of the homes will be designed for the “missing middle,” which refers to affordable housing options for renters and buyers. The proposed community is fully engineered and shovel ready. The neighborhood will be the Ann Arbor area’s first new urban community and one of only 10 built in Michigan in the post-World War II era, according to Gibbs. Sutherland Square is based on the concepts of New Urbanism, a planning movement co-founded by Robert Gibbs to promote traditional neighborhoods as an alternative to suburban sprawl.

CHICAGO — Grove Biopharma has leased space for its headquarters and research and development (R&D) lab at 400 North Aberdeen in Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood. Trammell Crow Co. (TCC) owns the property, which is part of the Fulton Labs development. Grove Biopharma is a preclinical biotechnology startup that previously operated out of Portal Innovation’s Fulton Labs location. The startup recently closed a $30 million Series A financing round and is now moving into its own space within a 17,000-square-foot Science-Ready Lab suite. “Grove Biopharma is the perfect example of the thesis we planned our Fulton Labs campus around. It’s a company that spun out of Northwestern, then moved to Portal Innovations for incubation and the support ecosystem and is now moving into a large Science-Ready Lab suite to accommodate further growth,” says Morgan Baer Blaska, vice president with TCC Midwest. “In the past, a company on this growth trajectory would have considered moving to one of the coasts, but both Portal and Fulton Labs have provided an environment where science startups can grow and thrive here in Chicago.” Founded in 2020, Grove Biopharma is pioneering its Bionic Biologics platform to develop therapies targeting previously intractable intracellular disease targets.
