Livernois, once famously known as Detroit's Avenue of Fashion, was on a steady decline for decades. In more recent times, it's made a comeback, not necessarily as a fashion center, but as a vibrant business district.
Now comes this.
Kirk Pinho of Crain's Detroit Business reports:
A joint venture between Warren-based builder Brown Schroeder & Co. and Shelby Township-based BmK Design+Planning LLC is planning to tear down the former Fred’s Furniture Liquidation Inc. store at 20201 Livernois Ave. a block and a half south of Eight Mile Road and replace it with a $14.2 million mixed-use building.
The three-story building would include 50 apartments, plus a 4,000-square-foot restaurant and another 3,000-square-foot commercial space, said Kevin Schroeder of Brown Schoeder & Co.
Construction, which will begin this year is expected to be complete in 2027.
