Editing Grosse Pointe, Michigan (section)

== Downtown development ==
The City's Master Plan permits additional growth in downtown Grosse Pointe, also known as "The Village", allowing an expansion of the shopping- and amenities-focused district. In particular, two lots (on either side of St. Clair Avenue) currently used for municipal parking directly north of the current row of retail are the focus of planned development.

The former Jacobson's Department Store building along Kercheval, west of St. Clair, has been completely redeveloped. Upper-floor office space accompanies a slate of new retailers, including a [[Trader Joe's]] grocery occupying specialized space in the renovated building. In addition, a new building rose in 2011 to replace the former [[Kroger]] grocery store at the corner of Kercheval and Notre Dame Street.
