Friedman Real Estate, in conjuction with RI Marketplace, is pleased to present 314 Emmett Street, a 3,574 SF freestanding single-story retail building situated on .21 acres in Battle Creek, Michigan. Offered vacant, the property provides immediate optionality for an owner-user or investor seeking to reposition a well-located retail shell in an established neighborhood commercial corridor. Zoned T-3 (Neighborhood Commercial District), permitted uses include retail, office, restaurant, and hotel — allowing a buyer to capture the format best suited to local demand without rezoning risk. The property benefits from ±14,329 vehicles per day on Emmett Street and sits in close proximity to two significant demand anchors: Battle Creek Hospital and Kellogg Community College, both of which generate consistent daily traffic from staff, students, and visitors. The immediate trade area is supported by a deep roster of national retailers including Walgreens, Dollar General, Family Fare, AutoZone, and McDonald's. Battle Creek's position along I-94 connects the asset to Kalamazoo, Lansing, and Detroit, while ongoing downtown revitalization and investment in regional industrial and commercial corridors reinforce the long-term demand fundamentals of the submarket.
