Work has begun on the Liberty retail expansion for the McKinley Towne Centre, a project that promises to bring a large chunk of downtown retail space back online.

Ann Arbor-based McKinley is renovating the old home to National City Bank on Liberty Street next to the Michigan Theater. The original plans called for razing the space and building a 2-story building in its place. Those plans were downsized last year.

"We're just renovating," says Royal Caswell, executive vice president of commercial real-estate for McKinley.

That renovation includes a new brick-and-stone fa�ade. The 15,000 square feet McKinley is renovating doesn't have a tenant yet. The project is supposed to be done and ready for occupancy within four months.
