Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 6,160-square-foot retail property was built in 1850 and retains a classic storefront profile with high ceilings. The space will be delivered in white box condition, providing a defined starting point for a new commercial buildout. The available configuration is described as accommodating approximately 1,500 to 3,000 square feet.

The building is located one block from the upcoming Kalamazoo Event Center. Its prior identity as a bookstore and newsstand remains part of the property's history, while current plans call for converting the upper level to apartments. The owner is also open to alternative concepts for that portion of the building.
