304 W Main St Manton, MI 49663

Located in downtown Manton on West Main Street, this commercial property includes two connected buildings and an adjacent development-ready lot spanning three city lots. The property, operating as Blue Pin Alley since 2018 with event space, has historically served as a community gathering place, with roots as a bowling alley in the early 1900s and later the Manton Theater from 1949 to 1968. The property features two distinct structures offering redevelopment potential. The right-side building is a single-story structure with a small upper loft that once housed the theater's projector. The larger three-level building includes a spacious open main floor, an upper level with an existing apartment and additional shell space potentially suitable for 2-3 residential units, and a lower level that once housed the original bowling lanes along with multiple office or storage rooms. The property is zoned for development and presents an opportunity for adaptive reuse, mixed-use redevelopment, or urban renewal. Potential uses include a brewery or taproom, food hall, boutique retail, entertainment venue, or a combination of commercial and residential uses. The location has a walk score of 43, indicating car-dependence, and a bike score of 41, indicating it is somewhat bikeable.
