A successful Detroit chef is bringing a luxury concept to a rural area of the township.
Zack Sklar, owner of restaurants including Mex and Beau’s Grillery, is bringing a new luxury venue called Bloomfield Hollow in a forested area of the township. It will also provide catering services, and Sklar and his team are getting ready to break ground later this year. The opening date is reported to be sometime in late 2027.
From Crain’s Detroit Business, the event space will be using over 30 acres of undeveloped land in the township on Franklin Road, just north of Square Lake Road. The space will be able to hold around 700 people, and feature a sunken amphitheater along with the event space inside. Sklar will be working with Cutting Edge Cuisine for serving events.
Sklar is also the owner and chef of Peas & Carrots Hospitality, a Detroit-based hospitality company that owns names such as Como’s Restaurant in Ferndale, Social in Birmingham and The Common Grill in downtown Chelsea. For this project, he is working with the principal designer for Studio MDM in Australia, Mel McKoy. When What Now Detroit reached out to Sklar, he was not available for comment.
While it is not clear where exactly the event space will be built, the Bloomfield Town Square Shopping Center is near the proposed area. Restaurants at this plaza include IHOP, Panera Bread and Olga’s Kitchen. This area is a mix of commercial and residential.
No social media has been set up to showcase the project as it is early in the development process. More information on Bloomfield Hollow will be released at a later date.
