$85M mixed-use development in the works for GP

The Sterling of Grosse Pointe, a luxury retirement community, has been announced as a component of the $85 million redevelopment of the Jacobson's site on Kercheval. The development will also include retail such as Trader Joe's, and the city plans to rebuild the existing parking deck and will issue an RFP for development of the existent parking lots.

A handful of units will be priced at just over $1 million.
