Biggest apartment building in the region?

edited April 2015 in Off-Topic
Anybody know which apartment building has the most number of units? I'm thinking of something that is a single building, or at least connected. If we included MSU dorm buildings, I believe Akers is the largest dorm on campus. Outside of campus, I think Lansing Towers is probably up there.

    I'm having trouble finding unit counts for the dorms, but according to https://fis.ipf.msu.edu/fisapps/fit/v3/prod/#/buildings?sortfield=GROSS_SQFT&dataset=msuBuildings, Holmes Hall is the largest residential building in square feet on campus. It's 394,953 sq ft. Akers would be #2 at 385,797 sq ft.

    This shows the west half of Holmes Hall,

    Here's a picture of Lansing Towers for comparison. The thread is much better with pictures :)

  • I just looked around a bit and came up with these in addition to Fountain Place and Lansing Towers:

    Motor Wheel Lofts: 119 units
    Riverfront Towers Senior: 200 units
    Capitol Commons Senior: 200 units
    Friendship Manor: 172 Units
    Somerset Apartments: 100 units
    2900 Place: 231 units
    Ferris Park: 106 units
    Tamarack Apartments: 100 units
    Cedar Place: 220 units
    South Washinton Park: 188 units
    East Glen: 100 units
    Burcham Hills is also pretty large but I can't find any info on the number of units.

    I'm thinking that has to be about all of apartments with over 100 units in a single building in the area. As you can see about three quarters of these are senior apartments and there are plenty more senior apartments with 50-100 units in a single building.

    So 2900 Place is the largest single apartment building in the area by number of units, that's kinda surprising to me.
  • I'm not sure if the South Washington Park unit number includes the townhomes but I don't think it does, there are only about 20 of them anyways. It says there are 113 efficiencies, 70 one bedrooms and only 5 two bedroom units, explaining the large number of units given the buildings size.
