ABOUT THE PROPERTY

2 West Michigan Avenue is a federally recognized historic 1927 Art Deco building in downtown Ypsilanti. Originally, constructed for the auto industry as a showroom, repair shop, office spaces, and a gas station, it has since lived many lives. Up until 2022, it was known as Materials Unlimited Antiques & Salvage. This three-level property combines historic architectural character with modern adaptability. Its prime location offers direct frontage on Michigan Avenue, scenic views of the Huron River, and immediate access to the Border-to-Border Trail, Riverside Park, and public parking. The property spans three spacious levels — each with exposed original building materials, open layouts, high ceilings, and abundant natural lighting. With flexible division options, direct access from both Michigan Avenue and the rear parking lot, and prominent visibility within a walkable downtown, 2 West Michigan Ave offers a rare blend of historic presence and future potential. It is an exceptional opportunity for a wide range of artisan and musical uses.
