Could Commerce Township get a new shopping district?

Commerce Township, located in western Oakland County, could get a new $100 million dollar open-air shopping district. The development would be similar to The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township and The Village of Rochester Hills.

[According to the Detroit Free Press, the developer would be Robert B. Aikens and Associates of Birmingham.](https://www.freep.com/story/money/business/2018/05/07/proposed-commerce-township-development/529580002/?ref=dailydetroit.com) The project would be called 5th & Main and would serve as the township’s downtown.

The development would be located off of Pontiac Trail and Martin Parkway.

It would have shopping, a movie theater with reclining seats, an upscale grocery market, a full restaurant and bar, and up to 13 other fast casual and sit down restaurants.

The project would also feature 300 market rate residences with half of them part of a residential community for people over 55.

The first phase would be 42 acres. A 14 acre, second phase, is possible.

This isn’t a done deal. Aikens & Associates are still securing tenant commitments for the project. The project would have to be at least 65 percent pre-leased in order to get construction loans.
