Eastland Center Mall Gasps Its Last Breaths

Eastland Center shopping mall is expected to close early next year. Its demolition will make way for a warehouse. The 1-million-square-foot mall is down to 10% occupancy. Its anchor department store have been closed for years. With the mall owner’s June announcement that it is selling the property to NorthPoint Development of Kansas City, Missouri, more Eastland tenants have packed up and closed their doors. NorthPoint will most likely keep the mall open through the holidays and then close it in January. Demolition could begin as early as February.

 

Northville Downs Discussion is Back on the Table

Hunter Pasteur Homes, Forbes Company, Toll Brothers and Oboran have submitted a conceptual presentation for an August 30 virtual meeting with the Northville Planning Commission. Hunter Pasteur is renewing its efforts to purchase the Northville Downs harness horse-racing facility and surrounding parking lots after a two-year hiatus. In the past, Northville residents were resistant to the increased population and traffic density the original plans would’ve created. Hunter Pasteur representatives held feedback sessions with Northville residents to gain an understanding of what residents would like to see (or not) if the property was developed. After pandemic-related delays and community feedback sessions, Hunter Pasteur has revised its original plans.
