GM President Dan Ammann Snags the Fisher Mansion in Palmer Woods

Dan Ammann

The Alfred J. Fisher mansion in Palmer Woods  was supposed to be converted to a dormitory for addiction treatment, but those plans fell through after neighborhood opposition mounted.

Now, residents there have a much different -- and for the matter, more palatable neighbor.

JC Reindl of the Detroit Free Press reports that the President of General Motors Dan Ammann and his wife, Pernilla Ammann, bought the 15-bedroom mansion on Balmoral Drive on July 31. for $1.55 million.

The Freep reports that it is one the highest prices ever paid for a Detroit residence.
