I have two questions regarding some development I have seen in the last few days.
1. While this may be relatively old and I may have answered this myself, what is happening on Miller in between Sherwood and St. Cyril? Does this massive warehouse complex belong to Matty Maroun?
2. Does anyone know what is going on with the plot of land directly in front of the Jefferson Chrysler across from Homeland Security? I saw today a bulldozer and and an excavator tearing away at this plot of land.
#1 is a Moroun auto supplier facility reported on here: http://www.freep.com/story/money/bus...ment/70141842/
Also found this update:
Logistics trucking company bringing 150 jobs to Detroit
Hard to think development is happening to that massive empy parcel of land. In an inconvenient location and, well frankly, in Detroit.

As far as the land near Jefferson / St. Jean, I know it was mentioned back in May that Meijer was scouting that area for a 3rd store. It could be related to that and we just haven't got the official press release yet.

It would be a huge boon for the lower east side to score both a Meijer and Whole Foods at nearly the same time, especially after now going almost 10 years without decent [[chain) grocery options.Quote:

I wanted to bring this back to attention. I just returned home after a week in Copenhagen to see this area in front of the Chrysler plant in full swing of some major construction. I thought to myself it could just be something for irrigation, since a big hole was being dug up. But no sir Motor City Electric was there along with a handful of construction equipment. I am really curious to see what is going on here.
On a side note, at the former Wendy's on East Jefferson, there is now a Detroit Coney!
Interesting...Quote:
