Harper Woods Shopping Mall Proposed for Industrial Development

Harper Woods’ city planning commission is considering a proposal that would turn the struggling Eastland Center shopping mall into a new industrial/warehouse development. NorthPoint Development LLC is asking for a planned unit development that would raze the enclosed mall and build about 1.03 million square feet of industrial/warehouse space across three buildings on the site.  A 514,000 square-foot building would be built on 36 acres of the site. Another 310,000 square feet would be built on 24.1 acres, and 207,000 square feet would be built on 18.8 acres. 15 acres would remain undeveloped.
