Meijer Inc. plans to open a grocery store -- far smaller than its two superstores in Detroit -- on East Jefferson Avenue near downtown Detroit as part of a development that is expected to include more than 200 apartments, Crain's Detroit business reports, citing two unnamed sources.
The new store is expected to be 42,400 square feet. Miejers has two other stores in the city: 8 and Woodward and Grand River between 7 Mile Road and Fenkell.
Kirk Pinho reports:
The project, slated for 1475 E. Jefferson Ave. between Rivard and Riopelle streets, is planned to have 213 apartments, 221 parking spaces for residents and 120 spaces for shoppers, according to the website of Bloomfield Hills-based Lormax Stern Development Co. LLC, one of the project's developers along with Dennis Archer Jr. and Marcel Burgler. The Lormax website page was deactivated Wednesday afternoon.
The project is expected to open in 2019.
