Village of Ada - Complete Makeover

One of the first new building in Ada outside the redone downtown perimeter. It’ll be interesting to see if this ends up set back from the street like a suburban office, or if they push it close to Fulton.

I just read recently in their planning docs that they’ve reoriented the building to facilitate a more “downtown” like positioning for when development hops across Ada drive - so that is promising!

It's set back quite a bit from Fulton.

I don’t think from a planning perspective they’d really want/need it close to Fulton as it’s not part of the “downtown” plan.   Though it looks like it might being built behind the bank?

The orientation of the building (as shown above) would put it in a good position to align with buildings along Ada drive if they were ever to redevelop the banks buildings on Ada drive. That was my main question (if they were thinking how this would eventually fit in with the rest of the city vs. floating out in it's own space). It looks like they addressed it pretty well.
