Automotive Country Club Heading to Howell

A father and son duo plan to bring a multimillion-dollar automotive country club and garage development to a 270 acre site owned by the city of Howell.

Groundbreaking should take place next summer, and phase one should be completed by the end of 2025. Phase two calls for an auto innovation park and mixed-use construction that will cost an additional $35 million.

 

New York Company Steps Up for Dearborn Hotel

Previously, the property was under a $27 million deal that envisioned top-floor condominiums and a hotel on the bottom floors. That deal fell through with the buyer backing out at the end of the inspection period. The current deal is for $17 million. A broker for the sale disputes that figure. The company intends to redevelop the hotel into a mix of 375 market-rate apartments and a small hotel.
