Typical of high-rise buildings or building plans which have stirred controversy in Ann Arbor in recent months is University Towers, which will be the city's tallest building and a giant among midgets in the University shopping area. The 18-story structure, shown with slightly more than half of its steel framework up, was challenged unsuccessfully by other developers shortly after ground was broken and was a factor in City Council consideration of a 15-story limit on high-rise buildings. Its "neighbors" in the S. University-Forest Aves. area are for the most part two stories high.

Two high-rise apartment buildings being built in Ann Arbor were "topped out" this week, receiving final framing members which indicate the maximum height of the buildings. They are (top) Ann Arbor's tallest building, the 18-story University Towers being built on S. University Ave. at S. Forest Ave., and the 10-story luxury apartment building, called Riverside Park Apartments, now being built at 1050 Wall. The two structures are estimated to be worth a total of $6.3 million.
