Union Street Space Listed for $7.5 Million

Mario Kiezi, owner of the former Union Street Detroit restaurant and the Midtown Liquor & Deli store, has listed the property for $7.5 million. He has listed it with O’Connor Real Estate. He originally envisioned converting it into a grocery store. Those plans may still come to fruition as two regional grocers have recently toured the building. The two-story building is situated at Woodward Avenue at Willis Street. The first floor has had various commercial uses in the past, and the top floor has been empty since the 1960s when it was used for eight residences.

Novi Residents Protest Childcare Center

A plan to transform an existing golf clubhouse in the northwest corner of the city into a learning center is facing stiff opposition from area neighborhoods. The learning center would accommodate between 125-175 children on a daily basis, exceeding the zoning allowance. Hundreds sent letters to the city opposing the project, and many attended the January 26 planning commission meeting. The plan would also convert the nine-hole golf course into open green space. Residents are concerned about traffic, especially during drop-off and pick-up times. The residential properties and the clubhouse share the same road connector. The attorney for the petitioner says the traffic will actually be less intensive than a bar, restaurant or golf course. Commissioners voted to recommend a denial to the city council.
