The former site of the Pontiac Silverdome is targeted for a massive warehouse and distribution center redevelopment.

Details of the planned project by Atlanta-based Seefried Industrial Properties Inc. were scarce on Wednesday evening. But there is a Sept. 18 public hearing of the Pontiac Planning Commission scheduled for the project, according to a notice posted Wednesday to the city's website.

An email was sent to Rob Rakusin, president and CEO of Seefried Industrial, late Wednesday. The owner of the 127-acre Silverdome property at M-59 and Opdyke Road, Toronto-based Triple Properties Inc., could not be reached for comment.

"I'm happy that the prospect of this project, which involves the whole Silverdome property, is moving along in a very positive direction for the city," Mayor Deirdre Waterman said Wednesday night, noting that she's under a nondisclosure agreement and can't provide more specific information.

The Sept. 18 meeting is to provide a zoning use exemption for the property that would allow the redevelopment to move forward.

"That would be the first step in perhaps attracting a name and an industry that we would be overjoyed to get," Waterman said.

The Seefried Industrial website says the company was founded in 1984 and has at least 23 million square feet of property owned and managed. The company has developed distribution centers for Amazon.com Inc. totaling at least 7 million square feet in Birmingham, Ala.; Tucson, Ariz.; and Salt Lake City, according to its website.

It is also working on one totaling 855,000 square feet in Gaines Township in west Michigan, MiBiz.com reported last year. It also developed a large facility for the internet retail giant that opened earlier this year in Romulus.

In addition, it has developed properties for Mercedes-Benz USA and Best Buy, the company's website says.

The city and Triple Properties reached a court agreement in March 2017 to hire a demolition contractor and raze the 80,000-plus seat stadium, which was home to the Detroit Lions until 2002, when the team moved to Ford Field in downtown Detroit.

In February 2017, the city sued Triple Properties, which purchased the Silverdome at auction from the city in 2009 for $583,000, just 1.05 percent of the total 1975 construction cost of $55.7 million. The city alleged violations of building and safety codes, as well as illegal storage of vehicles.

Demolishing the property was the next major step to finding a new use for the property, which became run down and was photographed strewn with debris. It was generally considered an eyesore in the city of 60,000 people.

Demolition began in December 2017 with a partial implosion that initially failed. The second attempt at the implosion succeeded the following day.
