Disputed Land Along M-59 Reaches Compromise

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI-A prime piece of vacant land will be developed for office and R&D use under a plan developed by an Oakland County city and a local developer. Land uses permitted in the agreement would allow for mixed uses including restaurants, hotels and short-term executive housing.

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI-The Rochester Hills City Council and developer Grand Sakwa have reached a settlement in a dispute over right-of-way needed to complete the connection of realigned Adams Road to the new interchange under construction at M-59 in the city. Construction of the new road is anticipated to begin this year and conclude in the spring of 2006. It will allow for the development of 110 acres of prime land located along the M-59 technology corridor in Rochester Hills, an area designated as a SmartZone by the state.

“This is the most prominent undeveloped site along a major freeway remaining in Oakland County,” says Dan Casey, manager of economic development for Rochester Hills. “In negotiations with Grand Sakwa, we made it eminently clear that the state, county and city are committed to marketing this property for the development of corporate offices and research and development.”
