The national chain's newest 'Executive' fitness center will open next summer near the corner of Telegraph and Long Lake roads.
Demolition is well under way for the new Executive Life Time Fitness that will open next year in Bloomfield Township. Crews began knocking down the collection of old and vacant offices on the stretch of southbound Telegraph Road near Long Lake Road earlier this month, and now the structures are reduced to just piles of broken concrete and wooden shards. It is the second phase of demolition and construction near the corner following the completion of the new Max Broock in the building next door in the 4000 block of Telegraph Road. The buildings once housed Mr. Tony's Barber Shop and the Piazza Hair Salon, which closed earlier this year. Some parking for patrons will be available in front, but the majority will be behind the building with …

The Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees recently approved plans for the new restaurant and bar to take over the long-vacated Rio Bravo.
Last spring, we highlighted the vacant restaurant site at 2262 S. Telegraph Rd. on Bloomfield Township's north side and asked readers what their vision was. This week, the reconstruction of the former Rio Bravo restaurant at southbound Telegraph Road near Square Lake Road, took off in earnest. And you might have noticed the landmark lighthouse on the structure was replaced with a blue tarp. Closed since 2003, the spot had long been a neighborhood destination, first as a Mountain Jack's before going 'Tex-Mex' menu. Readers seemed to overwhelmingly support a family-style restaurant in the comments on our previous story, and that's what it appears will move in. The Fifth Tavern, described as a family-style restaurant with a high-end sports …

Our Visions for Vacancies series asks about the possibilities for Bloomfield Township's biggest commercial availability . . . and community eyesore.
Earlier this week, we told you about the foreclosure rights for the long-vacant Bloomfield Park property finally going on sale after a protracted legal battle. According to the legal settlement between Bloomfield Township, Pontiac and the developers — which still has pending issues on appeal unrelated to the sale — the property can't just become anything. Though the initial deal for the 700,000 square-feet that included mixed commercial, retail and residential space floundered, the Oakland County Circuit Court ruling stipulates that parameters negotiated in 2002 must still be followed. Like casinos? Sorry. The deal specifically prohibits casinos and similar gaming facilities, as well as adult entertainment and cell towers, documents show. …

The massive eyesore near the Bloomfield Township-Pontiac border is for sale following a lengthy legal battle.
Bloomfield Park, the 700,000-square-foot collection of unfinished concrete slabs and skeletal building shells on the township's north side is apparently up for sale. Following a four-year legal battle — that still has appeal issues pending — the property is officially on the market. However, some experts believe it won't fetch nearly as much as planners hoped when they started developing the ambitious project years ago, according to Crain's Detroit. William Bubniak of the Southfield-based Farbman Group, confirmed the real estate brokerage and property management firm began marketing the property last week and has the exclusive rights to do so, Crain's reported. San Francisco-based Wells Fargo Bank has foreclosure rights to the property on …

The Bloomfield Township Trader Joe's launched on Jan. 15 with a lot of love from locals, and loyal customers that didn't mind travelling a little bit further to get their fix.
