Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The offering is a 0.63-acre commercial parcel made up of three separate lots: two lots are vacant, and one lot includes an existing office building that remains on site. The property is zoned for commercial and office use, supporting a range of development or redevelopment approaches depending on final site planning and approvals.

Located on US-31 in Traverse City, the parcel sits at the gateway to downtown Traverse City. It benefits from its position along the main east-west corridor through the Grand Traverse region. An additional adjacent property is also available for sale for an extra 1.25 acres, which can be combined to create a larger development piece.

For tenants, developers, or buyers seeking a mixed vacant-and-improved site, the presence of an existing office building may support interim occupancy or guide future phasing. The split-lot configuration provides options for how improvements could be arranged across the vacant lots versus the lot with the building, while keeping the overall tract size suitable for a larger commercial/office concept.

Key Highlights

  • 0.63‑acre commercial parcel on US‑31 at the gateway to downtown Traverse City
  • Property includes three separate lots: two vacant lots plus one lot with an existing office building
  • Existing office building remaining on one of the lots
