Detroit Golf Club plans $4.5 million clubhouse renovation after Rocket Mortgage Classic
Quote:
As groundskeepers work to get the course at Detroit Golf Club in tip-top shape for the Rocket Mortgage Classic later this month, management is also planning a $4.5 million renovation of its historic clubhouse.
Work on the Albert Kahn-designed clubhouse, which was built in 1918, will include a new pro shop, redesigned dining room, patio overhaul and façade improvements, said Andy Glassberg, president of the private club in northwest Detroit.
It would be the first significant renovation at the clubhouse in 20 years, and is part of a larger vision that could include a total of $9 million of renovations at the club.

Marrow, Folk owners craft joint venture as Corktown corner expansion planned
Quote:
Nest Egg has two main plans. First, the 390-square-foot Farmer's Hand is set to close around July and reopen in a larger space. It would aim to brand itself as a more frequent shopping destination, aiming to increase competitiveness for high-quality local products and meet consumer demand more effectively, Louya said.
As for Nest Egg's other vision: When the Farmer's Hand closes, the group aims to start work to convert the pocket-sized space into Mink, a seafood-focused restaurant concept dreamed up by Welch and Ho. Their goal is to open in September, serving a small, rotating menu with unique wine pairings and around 20 seats.
The new, approximately 1,800-square-foot Farmer's Hand would open in 2021 in a yet-to-be-constructed Trumbull Avenue building planned by Louya and Foulkes' current landlords, Brian and Stacy Mulloy of Ballet Real Estate.
The Mulloys renovated the 1870s-built building at 1701 Trumbull Ave. that houses Louya and Foulkes' businesses, as well as Mama Coo's Boutique, Meta Physica Wellness Center and The Bearded Lady salon.
Following up on that investment, they want to construct two buildings in neighboring lots: 2,600 square feet on Bagley and 5,000 square feet on Trumbull. Brian expects a $1.25 million total price tag with a combined two apartments and two retail tenants (including Farmer's Hand).

Nursery to break ground on Herman Kiefer site as sustainability conference spurs initiatives in Detroit
Quote:
As part of the conference, Detroit's planning and development department, along with Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit American Forests, are scheduled to break ground Tuesday on the new Herman Kiefer Health Complex Nursery, according to a media advisory.
"It's an exciting new model Detroit is piloting for reclaiming vacant land to help stabilize a community, grow trees for planting throughout the city and support careers for residents," the advisory said.
The project is a part of a larger plan to redevelop the sprawling, abandoned medical complex that includes a 460,000-square-foot main hospital and seven smaller buildings. The once city-owned hospital closed in 2013, and its property sold to a New York-based developer in 2015 for $925,000. Converting Detroit's abundance of vacant land into green space is a broad objective helmed by Maurice Cox, planning director for the city.
After purchasing the site, developer and architect Ron Castellano laid out a plan to invest $100 million to redevelop the 18-acre site, according to the city. No major work has taken place on the site.

Eastern Market building to be largely demolished in change of plans for Bea's co-working space
Quote:
A former meat-packing facility in Eastern Market with a bright egg- and chicken-themed mural is expected to be largely demolished starting Tuesday, with one of its walls, its cornice and bricks from the facade preserved.
Beatrice and Eli Wolnerman originally planned to renovate the approximately 4,000-square-foot building at 1533 Winder St., but found that the walls weren't structurally sound and wouldn't last, Beatrice Wolnerman told Crain's.
The couple, whose business started as a gifting operation based out of their Grosse Pointe home, plans to construct a two-story building that incorporates elements of the old structure. They're aiming to keep the building looking "exactly the same, especially the front," Beatrice Wolnerman said.
