Dearborn city council is expected to approve developments planned for
both the east and west ends of Michigan Avenue. The former Montgomery
Ward's building at Schaefer is pegged for a mixed-use development
anchored by corporate headquarters for a not-yet named corporation. On
the west end two parking decks - one
topped by a boutique hotel - a residential tower, a movie theater and
22,000 square feet of retail space are being proposed.
Excerpts:
In addition to the office space, the 125,000-square-foot [Montgomery Ward] development would also have space for four retailers and would be four-stories high — about the same size as the existing building. It also calls for row housing as opposed to lofts over the commercial space and a 624-space parking deck.
The [west-end] proposal calls for a parking structure behind the Oakwood-Muirhead building, near the new home of Buffalo Wild Wings and Panera Bread. Another parking deck is proposed to be built behind La Shish, with a 120-room boutique hotel on top of it.
In the same block as Buffalo Wild Wings, there are plans for a six-screen, two-story movie theater in addition to residential towers and 22,000 square-feet of retail space.
