Originally built as a neighborhood radiator repair shop, this one-of-a-kind adaptive reuse project has been thoughtfully transformed into a striking modern commercial space that blends industrial character with contemporary design. With over 2500 square feet and perfectly positioned in Detroit's rapidly evolving North End, the property offers an open-concept layout filled with natural light, creating an inspiring environment for a creative agency, art gallery, architecture or design office, boutique retail, wellness concept, event space, or professional workspace.
The interior features polished concrete floors, exposed masonry, soaring ceilings, dramatic skylights, and a clean, minimalist aesthetic that feels equally suited for an artist's studio as it does a forward-thinking business. A modern restroom and flexible floor plan allow the next owner to tailor the space to their vision. The property’s zoning and design also allows for loft-style living as a conditional use.
Completed between 2021 and today, the extensive redevelopment includes comprehensive masonry restoration on all four elevations, a new engineered steel roof structure with eight Velux skylights—including two solar-powered venting skylights, a Firestone® TPO roofing system with a 15-year warranty, radiant heated concrete floors, new electrical and plumbing systems, new sewer service, custom steel and glass storefront doors and window, fresh interior and exterior finishes, upgraded landscaping, an in-ground drainage system, and new concrete sidewalks and pathways.
A rare opportunity to own an architecturally compelling adaptive reuse property in one of Detroit's most exciting neighborhoods. Whether you're looking for a headquarters, creative workspace, showroom, or investment, this is the kind of space that simply can't be replicated.
