Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The former Labaron Elementary School in Pontiac, a two-story complex of almost 40,000 square feet, is available for sale. The solid brick and concrete building, though in rough condition due to vandalism, retains fine architectural details. It features a massive open space gymnasium and performance/stage space, locker rooms, shower rooms with high ceilings alongside sprung wooden floors, and full cafeteria/kitchen facilities. The school also offers over 20 classrooms and several small offices. The property is situated off Joslyn Ave, between E. Walton Blvd and N. Perry St, with immediate access to local freeways and expressways via the I-75 interchange. The site is directly across from the General Motors Propulsion Systems World Headquarters. Other area employers include Amazon, Lee Contracting, and United Shore Mortgage, as well as the General Motors Performance & Racing Center, G.M. Stamping, and USPS Michigan Metroplex P&DC. The building's classrooms can potentially be reused with renovation. Ownership has been embarking on a project to clean-up and rehab the school and is in the process of gutting the school and manicuring the lawn.
