Troy's Former Kmart Headquarters Sold to Somerset Owner

According to Crain's Detroit reporter Nancy Kaffer, the former Kmart Corp. headquarters site in Troy has been sold to Forbes Frankel Troy Ventures L.L.C.

Forbes Frankel also owns The Somerset Collection. This is somewhat surprising news because last September, Farmington Hills-based developer Grand Sakwa Properties L.L.C. signed a purchase agreement for the property.

From a business perspective, the Forbes Frankel purchase appears to make a lot of sense because they will be positioned to enhance the value of The Somerset Collection property and its many retail outlets.

  2. Maybe he will come up with a better idea than the ones before. I don't care how rich he is, he has earned his money. I just hope he
    does something nice with the property.
