Property Description
Prime commercial opportunity on Central Avenue in Portage! Situated on approximately 2.796 acres, this property offers outstanding visibility and access along one of the area's main corridors. The site features a 6,200 sq ft building with a functional layout, including a retail storefront in the front and warehouse space in the rear--ideal for a wide range of business operations or mixed-use concepts. Zoned Neighborhood Commercial through the City of Portage, this property provides exceptional flexibility with permitted uses such as low-intensity retail sales, personal service businesses, contractor office/showroom space, general and financial offices.
