Overview

1001 E Columbia Avenue is a 1.95-acre, signalized hard-corner redevelopment site assembled as a seven-lot parcel. The property includes a 2,761 SF former bank branch built in 1988, currently occupied by Starlite Vintage on a short-term basis. The site is described as a regular, level, fully utility-served pad with frontage on two thoroughfares and signal access.

The location is positioned at the intersection of M-96 (E. Columbia Avenue) and S. Main Street on Battle Creek’s primary east-side commercial corridor. With access controlled by the intersection signal and frontage on two major streets, the site is configured to support contemporary drive-thru-oriented development.

For buyers and operating users, the existing building can provide transitional holding income while a next user pursues planning steps for a new concept. The property’s described depth and double-drive-thru suitability align with uses such as a QSR with double drive-thru configuration, or a fuel-and-convenience style prototype development.
