Summary
This study finds the Farmington Hills Grand River Avenue corridor area has an existing demand for up to
50,000 square feet of new professional office space. By 2029, an additional 25,000 sf office demand
could be supported in the Grand River area if it were located in a smaller, neighborhood-focused mixeduse walkable village center (1). The 75,000 sf total of new office space would offer a desirable
community destination and complement nearby commercial and residential areas.
Demand in the Avenue’s district is strongest for two-story professional buildings with small-to-mediumsized floorplates. Grand River’s supportable businesses include healthcare, wellness, design, real estate,
insurance, and related fields. The office market is primarily attractive Class B+ space, rather than the
Class A office typically reserved for Fortune 500 businesses.
