Overview

This freestanding office building contains 1,864 square feet and was built in 1981. The property sits on 0.25 acres and is offered in a zoning designation of HR-Hotel Resort District, providing a framework for office use. The building is presented as an office user asset or as an investment opportunity for buyers seeking an office property.

Located at 1040 E Front Street in Traverse City, the site fronts US-31 and benefits from visibility along a major roadway in the area. The offering also includes the option to purchase the building along with two adjacent vacant lots totaling 0.63 acres, providing additional land that may support expansion or complementary use planning.

For tenants and buyers, the combination of a dedicated office building and available adjacent land can be attractive when looking for a standalone workplace with room to adjust the site plan. The HR-Hotel Resort District zoning should be reviewed for specific office-related uses and development intent. Overall, this is a straightforward office asset with clear roadway frontage and the added flexibility of adjacent vacant lots.
