Developers are planning an $11 million development and a new park with an amphitheater on a 9-acre piece of land in Woodhaven that's sat vacant for 30 years.

The five-building, 30,000-square-foot Park Promenade will go up at the corner of Allen and West roads with the existing Meijer there serving as its anchor, according to a news release.

Bingham Farms-based Alrig USA Development is the developer, Wyandotte-based Detroit Architectural Group is the architect and the general contractor has yet to be selected.

Chick-fil-A has signed on to be the first tenant and will occupy one full building in the development. It would be the 13th store in Michigan for the Atlanta-based chicken sandwich chain, according to its website. The company had a slow start in the market but appears to be growing its footprint in Michigan quickly.

Other tenants have not been named. The buildings are suited for retail, office, and health and wellness, the release said.

"Regional and national tenants alike — from food and beverage to health and wellness concepts — have shown significant interest in and excitement about this project," Brandon Schram, who is heading up the project for Alrig, said in the release.

The city of Woodhaven approved the project last week. Groundbreaking is scheduled to take place this fall, and tenants are expected to open in the spring.

The site was formerly occupied by a pipeline coating company. The developer is working with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy to designate the project as a brownfield site. It is seeking grants and incentives for the project totaling $2 million.

Alrig will also build a 1-acre community park tied into the development. It will include an amphitheater, playground, pond and green space. Once delivered, the city of Woodhaven will maintain the park, the release said. The size of the amphitheater is still being worked out.

"The park will be a cornerstone of the project — a gathering place the encourages a healthy lifestyle while providing entertainment and enrichment for the entire community," Jeff Harris, city administrator of Woodhaven, said in the release.
