Downtown Development
Major investments have been planned for downtown Grosse Pointe, also known as "The Village," which may increase density in the shopping- and amenities-focused district.
Two lots (on either side of St. Clair Avenue) currently used for municipal parking directly north of the current row of retail are the focus of planned redevelopment.
In addition, the former Jacobson's Department Store building along Kercheval, west of St. Clair, has been completely redeveloped. Upper floor office space accompanies a slate of new retailers, including a Trader Joe's grocery occupying specialized space in the renovated building.
Additional building activity is planned for a stretch of St. Clair Avenue to the south of Kercheval Avenue, and a new development is rose in 2011 to replace the former Kroger grocery store at the corner of Kercheval and Notre Dame Street.
