ROYAL OAK, MICH. — Beaumont Health is set to demolish the Northwood Shopping Center and nearly two dozen row houses in Royal Oak to make way for a new development. Plans call for the demolition of the buildings, situated on the southwest corner of 13 Mile Road and Woodward Avenue, to begin July 1. Beaumont hasn’t disclosed any official plans for the area but says the new development will likely be mixed-use. Demolition costs are $2.6 million, excluding environmental cleanup costs. The 213,000-square-foot shopping center was built in 1954 and is 59 percent occupied by 12 tenants. The remaining tenants are on month-to-month leases. Beaumont has owned the property since 1982.
