Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property at 4220 E M-72 is a commercially zoned 1.59-acre land site currently improved with a self-service/automatic car wash facility built in 1998. The existing improvements are positioned for demolition and redevelopment, offering a clean platform for a new ground-up concept where the current car wash has already established site access and drive-on convenience.

Located near the intersection of M-72 and US-31 in Williamsburg, the site benefits from visibility within a primary east-west gateway corridor into Traverse City. The area serves a mix of resort and event traffic as well as daily commuting activity, with nearby draws referenced in the listing including Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, a Meijer anchor, and Horse Shows by the Bay.

For tenants and developers, the parcel is presented as a redevelopment opportunity for QSR, drive-through, or retail uses. Buyers evaluating automotive-adjacent reuse can also consider the existing car wash infrastructure, while operators pursuing a new build have the option to remove the 1998 structure and reconfigure the site for their intended format.

Key Highlights

  • 1.59‑acre commercially‑zoned parcel at/near E M‑72 and US‑31 in Williamsburg
  • Improved with a self‑service/automatic car wash facility built in 1998
  • Private water source
