Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

River Front Plaza is a distinctive four-story professional office building offering lease space across multiple floors. The building features a distinctive angled north-facing window wall designed to bring natural light into each floor while framing signature water views. Building common areas include dual elevator service and two stairwells, with men’s and women’s restrooms on each upper floor. The entry is ADA/barrier-free compliant.

The property is located in the heart of downtown Traverse City with immediate proximity to the amenities, services, and accessibility associated with East Front Street. It is positioned along the waterfront, providing unobstructed views of the Boardman River and West Grand Traverse Bay.

Available configurations include a street-level unit of 685 square feet, individual upper-floor spaces of approximately 8,060 square feet, and the option to lease all three upper floors as a contiguous 24,180 square foot block. Spaces are offered on a modified gross lease basis, which can simplify occupancy costs for office tenants looking for either a smaller street-level presence or a larger floor-plate solution within a full-service professional building.
