Sq Ft
This compact 324-square-foot suite occupies a corner position in Bay City’s historic Kresge Building, with its main entrance right on Washington Avenue where foot traffic and downtown visibility are strongest. The space is an economical option for professionals who require a clean, well-located office without the overhead of a larger lease. Brick construction and a one-story configuration give the suite solid downtown character and straightforward access from the street.
Inside, tenants will find a practical footprint well-suited to a single practitioner or a two-person office. Shared building amenities include restrooms and a vending area, and the tenant benefits from a separate electric meter for billing convenience. The space is described in good condition and is ready for immediate occupancy, allowing a new tenant to move in quickly and begin serving clients from a prominent downtown address.
The Kresge Building sits at the corner of Center Avenue and Washington Avenue, placing your business steps away from a lively cluster of restaurants and retail. Local neighbors include MI Table, Beaver’s Restaurant & Tavern, Gatsby’s Seafood & Steakhouse and Populace Coffee — all within easy walking distance — plus civic landmarks such as Old City Hall. Street parking and nearby municipal lots provide practical options for clients and staff, though tenants should verify parking needs for peak event times.
This listing is ideal for attorneys, consultants, insurance agents, real estate professionals, or other small businesses that need downtown presence, signage visibility, and convenient access to Bay City’s commercial core. Zoning supports commercial and office uses; prospective tenants should confirm fit-for-use details with the City of Bay City. With an affordable rent profile and a compact footprint in a highly visible corner location, this suite offers a low-friction entry point for businesses seeking to establish or expand a downtown Bay City presence.
Located in downtown Bay City, this corner office sits amid a compact commercial district where historic architecture meets everyday commerce. The block is populated with restaurants, coffee shops, professional services and civic landmarks; Populace Coffee and MI Table are a few steps away, and Old City Hall anchors the nearby streetscape. The neighborhood offers a pedestrian-friendly environment that supports walk-in traffic and easy client access. Schools in the Bay City School District are within roughly 1.5 miles, and municipal parking options make downtown access practical for staff and visitors.
Downtown Bay City currently presents opportunities for small-office tenants seeking visibility without high overhead. While detailed market statistics for inventory and days-on-market are not available in this dataset, local signals point to steady demand for compact office suites: the property is listed for lease and shows likely vacancy, and downtown’s concentration of restaurants, retail and offices supports consistent daytime foot traffic. The provided rental estimate—approximately $500/month and $1.54/sf—positions this suite as an affordable option relative to larger downtown offerings.
Commercial leasing in Bay City often favors nimble businesses that value proximity to civic anchors and dining destinations; small footprints like 324 sf are rare and move quickly when available. Key considerations for prospective tenants are parking during peak events and verifying zoning/usage with the City of Bay City. Given limited comparable data, tenants and investors should act on verified financials and schedule an on-site inspection. Overall, this is a favorable time for small firms to secure a downtown address if they prioritize visibility and walkable amenities over scale.
