New high rise

A new luxury building at 370 Brown Street in downtown Birmingham beginning construction by the Boji Group of Birmingham will feature luxurious residential units and premium office space anchored by JPMorgan Chase, the company announced. “The new $80 million project at 370 Brown Street (will) sets a new standard in mixed-use development,” the Boji Group said in a release. The modern four-story structure, totaling 135,000 square feet, includes a first-level landscaped interior courtyard with a water feature, and a pedestrian-friendly courtyard with benches and other amenities to help bring daylight into the building. The ground level and second floor, totaling more than 42,000 square feet, will include a JPMorgan Chase office, which will provide wealth management services and commercial banking. “For more than 90 years, JPMorgan Chase has supported the Greater Detroit area,” said Terrah Opferman, Michigan Region Manager, Middle Market Banking for JPMorgan Chase. “We’re excited to bring greater value to local families and businesses as we help them achieve their unique banking and financial goals through unmatched capabilities and exceptional client service.” Luxury residences will populate the third level, and there will be rooftop amenities, including a water feature, cabanas, an eco-grass lawn, and grills and firepits. Victor Saroki, founder and president of Saroki Architecture, who designed the new building and the adjacent RH building, said the 370 Brown Street project “is designed to reflect and enhance the surrounding buildings and the downtown Birmingham aesthetic.” The project is anticipated to be completed in spring 2026.
