This 4,308 sq. ft. commercial space is now available and can be divided into two highly functional footprints of 2,875 sq. ft. and 1,433 sq. ft., providing flexibility for a wide range of users. Ownership is open-minded and genuinely committed to securing a quality tenant ready to write the next chapter in this iconic location.

Highlights:
• Prime visibility on Second Avenue with constant walk- and drive-by traffic
• Surrounded by heavy daytime population from Henry Ford Hospital, WSU, and New Center offices
• Steps from revitalized residential density and new development activity
• Strong bones, historic charm, and a layout ready to be reimagined
• A rare chance to build on Mr. Fofo's legacy while creating something unmistakably modern
