Construction begins on new retail building in downtown Royal Oak

As bigger and bigger buildings pop up in downtown Royal Oak, it's nice to know there is still some space for new single-story retail buildings.

Construction has begun on a new single-story retail building at 723 N. Main St., at the corner of Main and Austin streets, in the shadow of the 10-story Main North Lofts. The 3,300-square-foot building will house the new location of the Bianchi Salon and has another 1,500 square feet of retail space available for lease.

The new building replaces an old auto-centric storefront that had been razed. The site is now cleared and at the starting phases of construction.
