Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This three-level commercial building offers open first and lower floors for a new owner to reimagine for creative uses, along with smaller third-story office space. The roof was put on in 2015, supporting continued development planning.

The property is located in the Central Business Historic District of Downtown Battle Creek, down the street from The Milton (newly renovated) and a few doors from a soon-to-be New Holland brew pub.

The site is part of the Calhoun County Land Bank’s Transform This Commercial Property (TTCP) program. Under TTCP, the buyer agrees to rehab within a given timeframe and may be required to complete appropriate environmental assessments, such as Phase I, Phase II, and Baseline Environmental Assessments as needed. Buyer may also need site-specific planning, inspections review, and site-specific code review as part of development.
