Overview

The property is a retail storefront building currently in a condition that requires a full gut rehab. Public remarks note that major work is needed, including a new roof. The building’s prior uses have changed over time, with those iterations referenced in the photo section.

The site is located at 4246 W Fort Street in Detroit and is described as being near the new Gordy Howe Bridge. The property is being sold AS IS, and buyers should plan for renovation based on the condition indicated in the remarks.

For prospective owners, this is a hands-on opportunity for someone looking to reposition a retail storefront with a full rehabilitation scope. Because the sale is AS IS and BATVAI, due diligence on existing systems and conditions will be important for budgeting and planning. The existing building framework can support a future retail concept, subject to code compliance and permitting following the rehab.
