Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 136,630-square-foot warehouse was constructed in 1909 for manufacturing Model T headlights and is currently used for minimal warehousing. Recent work includes updates to the fire suppression systems, along with additional property improvements. The building offers a substantial existing structure for continued warehouse use or a redevelopment concept supported by available architectural schematics for a multifamily mixed-use project.

The sale also includes 2728 Buchanan. Both properties are within Detroit’s Core City, and the site carries SD2 zoning. Architectural plans can be shared for the proposed multifamily mixed-use development, providing an existing framework for evaluating future repositioning options.
