Kercheval Place parking garage opens in Grosse Pointe

The Kercheval Place project in downtown Grosse Pointe is one big step closer toward finishing now that its new parking garage is complete and open to the public.

The new Village Municipal Parking Structure has 244 spaces and is on Notre Dame, right behind the main storefront space of the development. Workers demolished an old parking structure early last summer and built a new one in its place using precast pieces of concrete.

Kercheval Place is one of the Village shopping district's signature projects. It's redeveloping an old, vacant two-story Jacobson's store on Kercheval. Among the retailers occupying the 37,000 square feet of space is Trader Joe's, Jos. A. Bank, Coldwater Creek and Ann Taylor Loft.

The renovation of the old Jacobson's store is expected to play a major part in revitalizing the Village. It will fill a major void left when Jacobson's left that building empty several years ago.
