Overview

This offering is a 0.85-acre commercial land parcel in Traverse City, Michigan. The property was formerly the Blue Star Highway Scenic Turnout and presents an opportunity to create a view-focused site with a tree clearing as needed. The listing also references Section 319 C-O Commercial Office permitted uses, with buyers and agents advised to confirm applicable uses with the Garfield Township Zoning Administrator.

Vehicle traffic is a key consideration: MDOT reports 24,758 vehicles per day pass by the location. The site is described as being just south of GT Mall and overlooking Oleson’s buffalo ranch, supporting the property’s emphasis on potential views from the parcel.

From a tenant or buyer standpoint, this tract can be evaluated for office-site development in line with the referenced C-O Commercial Office permitted uses. Because zoning and permitted uses can vary by plan and application, the next step for prospective users is to review the associated documents and confirm final approvals with the township. The parcel’s history as a scenic turnout may also be useful context when considering site design and driveway/layout planning.
