Ford Motor Land Development Corp. has announced plans to build a new $120 million shopping center and recreation complex in Allen Park. The 600,000-sf center is expected to open in spring 2005.
Ford Motor Land Development is the real estate arm of the world's second largest automaker.
The new center, to be called Fairlane Green, will be built at the automaker's Allen Park Clay Mine. Ford has operated the 243-acre mine since the 1950s. It will close in spring 2004, when land work and construction will begin on the shopping center.
Ford says it will use a variety of environmentally friendly building techniques in building the new shopping center. The automaker, under the direction of chairman and CEO Bill Ford Jr., has used similar techniques in the redevelopment of its massive Rouge Center in Dearborn.
Though no tenants have yet been announced, the shopping center is expected to include several big-box stores, as well as shops for books, home goods and groceries, Ford says.
