Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The 0.54-acre property contains two commercial buildings totaling approximately 4,152 square feet: a former gas station and automotive service facility, plus a former car wash. An approximately 11,000-square-foot paved lot serves the site. Building condition, functionality, and suitability for a proposed use require independent evaluation.
Located at the US-41 and Palms Avenue roundabout in Ishpeming, the property has 288 feet of highway frontage. Reported traffic is 19,300 vehicles per day. Nearby national retailers and restaurant brands include Dollar General, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Little Caesars, and Family Dollar. The site is zoned General Commercial (GC) under the City of Ishpeming Zoning Ordinance.
Five underground storage tank systems were removed in 2020, and approximately 232.5 tons of petroleum-impacted soil were excavated. Groundwater monitoring from 2020 through 2024 showed declining contaminant concentrations. The final 2024 sampling results were below referenced risk-based screening levels and site-specific vapor intrusion criteria; in September 2024, EGLE concurred with the recommendation to record an Approved Project Completion designation.
