CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI-Bloomfield Hills-based Taubman Co. has submitted site plans to Clinton Township's planning department for a 60-acre upscale development along Hall Road (M-59) east of Garfield. Groundbreaking is expected this spring.
John Eggert, a development manager for Taubman Co., would not reveal many details of the project, but says more information would be forthcoming in the next few months. "I can confirm that we have plans for an outdoor center and we are currently in discussions with a number of potential tenants for the center," Eggert says.
Plans for the 590,000-sf shopping center, to be titled Partridge Creek Fashion Park, show two anchor department stores. Five restaurants and a 12-screen movie theater are also included in the proposal. The $250-million retail portion is part of a $500-million mixed-use development being undertaken by a team of developers that includes road builder John Carlo and homebuilder Graham Orley. Their plans include a 117-acre residential subdivision that calls for 1,100 homes at the site for the former Partridge Creek Golf Course.
The team envisions a lifestyle center that will serve not only the township and Sterling Heights, but also targets future neighborhoods popping up in Macomb and Shelby townships north of Hall Road. Taubman won't say what retailers they are talking with for the site, but retail insiders say Pottery Barn and PF Chang's China Bistro are expected to sign on.
Lillian Adams, executive director of the Sterling Heights Area Chamber of Commerce, says the Taubman Co. must like what it sees in existing shopping centers and restaurants already located on Hall Road. "These restaurants and stores of quality are just jammed every night, and Lakeside [shopping center] isn't doing too badly. That means someone out there is spending money and the continued growth is not going to stop," Adams says.
Partridge Creek is the largest retail development under way in Macomb County. And it's located near Michigan's fastest-growing community, Macomb Township, which added the most number of residents and had the third highest percentage population increase in the region since 2000, according to a study by the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments.
