Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This former motel and extended-stay property comprises 15 units across two buildings. Five units have undergone substantial renovation, and both structures received new roofs in 2023. A full basement is located beneath the manager’s unit, and laundry infrastructure is in place. The buildings total approximately 4,324 square feet, although another size figure in the property record conflicts, so it is omitted here.
The property occupies a commercially zoned site in Battle Creek and has city water and sewer connections. The record identifies continued rental, hospitality, housing, and office conversion as possible directions, subject to buyer verification and municipal approval. It also notes potential for additional storage or structures, subject to the same approvals.
