    Overview

    This former church property includes cathedral-type seating and is positioned for adaptive reuse. The building is offered for sale with a measured property size of 4,509 square feet on a 0.85-acre lot, providing space for parking and multiple potential layouts depending on the buyer’s planned use.

    The property is located at 285 Capital Avenue SW in Battle Creek, Michigan, close to Downtown Battle Creek. Site parking is a prominent feature, with lots of off-street spaces intended to support both gatherings and commercial traffic.

The site’s parking footprint also supports office, restaurant, or other commercial concepts that benefit from convenient access for customers and visitors.
