Plans for former NOVI EXPO CENTER


A 25-acre tract where the Novi Expo Center was demolished last year is set to be redeveloped with a commercial building and hotel.
Details of the $100-million project, along with artist renderings, were announced this morning on the property at I-96 and Novi Road.
Kevin Adell, who is leading the project, said he has been in talks with hotel chains – including Hyatt, Hilton and Marriott – and the Cleveland Clinic, about becoming tenants.
Plans for the development, dubbed Adell Towers, call for twin 8-10 story buildings, each about 176,000 square feet. Adell said he envisions a medical center and offices, including his own, in one tower – and a hotel in the other.
Before its demolition, the expo center had been vacant since 2005, when the center's event management company was moved into what is now the Suburban Collection Showplace at 46100 Grand River Ave. in Novi.

Before the expo center opened in 1992, the property was headquarters of Adell Industries, a maker of automotive door guards, and later a Kahlua manufacturing center for Mohawk Liqueur Corp.
