Marcus & Millichap and RI Marketplace are pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a vacant, free-standing, restaurant/retail building located at 1248 N Nappanee Street in Elkhart, IN 46514 (the “Property”). Formerly occupied by Fazoli’s Restaurant, the Property is offered significantly below replacement cost, creating an exceptional opportunity for owner-users or investors to secure a highly visible, strategically located asset at a substantial discount. FIRST BID MEETS RESERVE!

Built in 1996, the Property consists of a ±3,364 SF single-story building on a ±0.94-acre parcel. Positioned on an outlot parcel to a neighborhood retail plaza, the site features ample surface parking spaces, pylon signage, and frontage along North Nappanee Street with exposure to nearly 23,851 vehicles per day (VPD). Existing restaurant infrastructure supports immediate reuse, while zoning and visibility make it equally suited for retail repositioning or full redevelopment. Previously leased on a triple net (NNN) basis, the Property offers a strong value-add opportunity to re-lease at market rents (CoStar estimated retail rents: $16-$19/SF Retail). Zoned B-3 (Service Business District), the site accommodates a wide range of retail, service, and commercial uses, providing significant operational flexibility for future tenants or an owner-user.

The site offers outstanding freeway access via I-90 less than 3.5 miles away (±xx VPD) with convenient connectivity to South Bend and Chicago. Situated in a dense retail corridor’s, the Property is surrounded by a variety of QSRs including Subway, Wendy’s, Chick-fil-A, and Papa John’s, complemented by national and regional retailers such as Lowe’s Aldi, Walmart, Meijer, Dollar General, CVS, and more.
