Detroit Building Requiring Complete Renovation

Priced at $140,000, renovation required

Approximately 5,000 SF across two stories
Masonry construction, built in 1927
Approximately 40 feet of frontage on E. Warren Avenue
Approximately 0.09 acres, or roughly 3,920 SF of land
Detroit B4 zoning, subject to municipal verification
Offered as-is, where-is, with complete renovation required
Offering basis of approximately $28 per square foot
Entry restricted; all showings coordinated through the listing agent

16014 E. Warren Avenue is offered at $140,000 as a complete renovation and redevelopment project. The two-story masonry building was constructed in 1927 and contains approximately 5,000 square feet on roughly 0.09 acres, with approximately 40 feet of frontage on E. Warren Avenue and B4 zoning, subject to municipal verification.

The building requires a complete renovation and is offered as-is, where-is, with no representation that it is presently suitable for occupancy. Portions of the flooring and ceiling may be unstable, and a buyer should anticipate extensive structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and interior work. What remains is a substantial masonry structure with street presence on an established Detroit corridor.

The property suits an experienced investor, developer, contractor, or owner-user with the resources to complete a full redevelopment. Prospective buyers should review the condition and access notice before arranging any site visit.

East Side Trade Area

21,800 residents within one mile of the site

The property sits on an established commercial corridor on Detroit's east side. E. Warren Avenue carries more than 11,000 vehicles per day near the site per 2025 TrafficMetrix estimates, and the building holds approximately 40 feet of frontage on that corridor.

The surrounding trade area includes more than 21,000 residents within one mile and more than 134,000 within three miles per CoStar estimates, with median household income of approximately $51,000 within one mile. Population and household counts are both projected to grow through 2030 in each ring, which is the demand signal a buyer weighs when underwriting renovation capital.

Why This Space Matters

Property Features

The value in 16014 E. Warren Avenue is structural rather than operational. A two-story masonry building constructed in 1927 provides existing fabric on a corridor lot, at an acquisition basis of approximately $28 per square foot before renovation. The building requires complete renovation throughout and is offered as-is, where-is.

That combination suits a buyer equipped to execute a project rather than occupy a finished space. Two buyer paths fit. One creates value through renovation and repositioning. The other brings construction capability to the work itself. Both require renovation experience and the capital to complete a full redevelopment.

Substantial 1927 Masonry Structure

A two-story masonry building of approximately 5,000 square feet provides existing structure to renovate rather than build new. Construction dates to 1927. Condition throughout requires complete renovation, and all structural elements are subject to independent inspection by the buyer.

Established E. Warren Corridor Frontage

Approximately 40 feet of frontage on E. Warren Avenue, an established commercial corridor carrying more than 11,000 vehicles per day near the site per 2025 TrafficMetrix estimates. The surrounding trade area holds more than 21,000 residents within one mile per CoStar.

Two Distinct Redevelopment Buyer Paths

The property suits a redevelopment or adaptive reuse investor creating value through renovation, or a contractor and owner-user who can self-perform the work. Both paths require renovation experience, capital, and independent verification of zoning, permitted uses, and redevelopment feasibility.
