Little building-that-could to rise in downtown Royal Oak
The new home for Bianchi’s Salon & Spa in downtown Royal Oak is the little building that could, especially now that construction has begun on the single-story structure.
A small building is about to make a sizable impact on downtown Royal Oak. Construction is set to begin this week on the building that will house Bianchi’s Salon & Spa.
The single-story structure is about to rise in the shadow of the 10-story Main North Lofts on Main Street near Baldwin Avenue. Work on the 4,200-square-foot structure is expected to wrap up by the end of the year.
The building’s foundation has been laid for months, waiting for the rest of the project to get the go ahead. About 3,000 square foot will be put aside for the salon while the remaining 1,200 will be available for lease.
The building also features a mezzanine overlooking the salon portion, giving the structure 17-foot ceilings in spaces. Its exterior is made up of brick with a minimalist look featuring clean, modern lines.
