Crews gearing up for office construction project on Gratiot Road in Saginaw Township

SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, MI Motorists driving down Gratiot Road near Midland Road in Saginaw Township can expect to see construction crews this summer.

Gratiot Farms LLC is starting construction on an 8,750-square-foot building they hope to use for office space.

We are actually gearing up to start in the next couple weeks, said Gratiot Farms partner Nick Gibbons.

The building, located at 5880 Gratiot, is expected to contain three 2,500-square-foot medical office suites as well as an additional office space on about two acres of land.

Saginaw Township Planner Bridget Smith said the planning commission approved the project in October. The final piece of the approval process, the water main, was approved by the township's board of trustees last week. All that is left is the construction by Gratiot Farms.

Gibbons said the group has held the land for four or five years before starting this project.

Weve just been waiting for a good opportunity to do something and we felt now was the time, Gibbons said.

In addition to the building, Gratiot Farms LLC is constructing a road, Whitetail Creek Road, to connect to the building. The group owns 50 acres of land at the site and Gibbons said there are no concrete plans for the remaining land.

Weve got approximately 50 acres there. Were putting this first building up on the front left two acres, Gibbons said. Long term, were open to anything. If we get this one built and filled, were open to looking at other buildings.
