New retail building being constructed on Holbrook in Hamtown

A retail building is under construction in Hamtramck on Hobrook just west of Gallagher at the site of the Holbrook Cafe -- the new building actually improves and expands on the restaurant's structure.

The 9,000-square-foot building will include a 5,000-square-foot grocery market, a clothing store, office supply store and two offices. Developer Mohamed Dueic hopes to wrap up construction in a few months.
 
The project is sweet news to Jason Friedmann, Hamtramck's community and economic development director. "The City is excited to welcome the redevelopment of a historic community meeting place," he says. "The three new businesses will contribute to the eclectic diversity that continues to make Hamtramck an exciting place to live, visit and conduct business."

Parking for 35 cars will be available off-street, adjacent to the building.
