Downtown Plymouth boasts 95 percent retail occupancy rate

Recession or not, downtown Plymouth is enjoying a healthy retail business environment, thanks to a 95 percent retail occupancy rate.

"We're extremely lucky," says John Buzuvis, director of business operations and special projects for the Plymouth Downtown Development Authority. "Our occupancy rate is high. We're getting constant inquires. We're faring better than most downtowns."

A big part of that is a steady flow of new companies coming into the city center that revolves around Kellogg Park. This year so far, three have either moved into or are setting up shop in the area.

One of those is Sun and Snow, which is finishing a build-out at 388 S Main St. near Ann Arbor Trail. Eclectic Attic, an upscale consignment boutique, is opening on Forrest Avenue. And the Rock Bar & Grill just opened on 844 Penniman Ave.

Buzuvis expects that occupancy rate to stay high as more firms compete for open spaces this year.
