Our family loves great restaurants, entertainment, etc. and would find it difficult to lose access to that.No state income tax states get major bonus pointsWe love the outdoors. 

The first floor consists of 2 restaurants and the second and third floor is basically a 5 plex of apartments. 

I have an employee here in the restaurant I run.

I see more of the young professionals moving to Highlandtown and Brewers Hill which are right next to Greektown and closer to bars and restaurants.

Been an owner for 4-5 years, learned quite a few things already, among which is that a commercial kitchen is not something to be made or modified lightly - it has to be properly designed and properly made in order to function well.So I have this retail store of about 1100 sqft that someone wants to take for a small coffee shop with the ability to bake.My question is where do I start searching for someone to design/compute small walk-in cooler, grease trap, vent-a-hood, stove and HVAC on top of that so all this could become useable without anyone getting burned.From my past experience I have local mexican crews who can do any and all of the listed things and they'd do them relatively well except they won;t ever be designed to actually work well together.On the other end of the spectrum I've worked with american general contractors and they tend to cost 2-3 times the Mexican crews and, at least in my case, ended up delivering about same end result (in all fairness it was only kitchen remodeling, not design from ground up; but statement stands valid and I was able to later do almost the same at literally third of the cost).Your expertise is appreciated.

Places that can support a restaurant/food are very difficult to come by because of septic and zoning requirements.

I am putting together a comprehensive package for developers that shows the potential for both commercial retail (since most major grocery stores, restaurants, mall, Hospital, attractions are 12 to 21 miles away (the airport is 6 or 7 miles away) and subdivision as the land has plenty of frontage and is on county water.   

There might be a problem with any deductions if you are purchasing that subject property from a Mexican person or company. 

Should bring restaurants and coffee shops with it.
