Portage, MI 49002
MLS# 26046361
1 / 4
Property Description
Rare 7-acre development canvas in the heart of Portage with 264 feet of frontage on E Centre Ave. Level, deep site (264' x 1,155') bordered by established apartment and townhome communities on both sides, with mature neighborhoods across the street — proven housing demand on this block. Zoned one-family residential, offering a by-right path to an infill homesite development of approximately 16 lots, and under Portage's new Unified Development Ordinance duplexes are now permitted (up to 30% of homes) for roughly 24 units. Existing greenhouse/commercial use is legal nonconforming and may continue — hold with income while plans come together — or pursue a multi-family rezone with strong precedent next door. Assessor land value of $771,400 supports the land play alone. Minutes to the S Westnedge retail corridor, Portage schools, and parks; municipal utilities in the corridor. Buyer to verify zoning, nonconforming-use status, utilities, and all information with the City of Portage.
