Equitable Ann Arbor Land Trust

An advocate for preserving park land,equitable housing, transit, and placemaking in Ann Arbor

“if you work in Ann Arbor, you should be able to live in Ann Arbor.”
— Peter Allen, EA2 President and Co-Founder

Founded in 2019, the Equitable Ann Arbor Land Trust (EA2) serves as an advocate for the Ann Arbor community through catalyzing visionary plans for preserving, protecting, & enhancing park land, equitable housing, creative placemaking, and sustainable, mixed-use development.

Ann Arbor’s population continues to grow as the city faces a crisis of increasingly unaffordable housing, which forces many workers to live outside the city and commute daily. EA2 offers solutions to address these housing and transit problems, all while keeping sustainability and the natural features of Ann Arbor top-of-mind.

Led by Peter Allen, a long time real estate developer in Ann Arbor, lecturer at Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Ross School of Business, and Michigan graduate, and real estate developer Sarah Lorenz, EA2s expertise spans from real estate to sustainability, perfectly positioning us as an intermediary and broker for all future development in Ann Arbor.
