    Unleash your vision at 2280 St. Clair Street, a highly versatile commercial/residential property in the absolute heart of Detroit’s most exciting creative renaissance - IN AMAZING CONDITION!!! Situated in East Village, this 1913 mixed-use building offers 3,052 square feet of raw potential, perfectly positioned just moments away from The Shepherd art campus, booming East Village developments, and the natural beauty of Belle Isle. Whether you are an artist, entrepreneur, or visionary investor, this property is a blank canvas ready to be transformed into almost anything. + Prime Location & Community Value + Creative Hub: Located in an upcoming artist enclave anchored by The Shepherd—a nearby historic church transformed into a world-class cultural center, library, and sculpture park. Neighborhood Growth: Benefit from massive ongoing East Village developments, placing you directly in the path of neighborhood growth and rising property values. Island Proximity: Just a short bike ride or drive from the iconic Belle Isle, offering instant access to beaches, parks, and trails. A Community Need: The vibrant local community is rapidly expanding and deeply underserved. Reopening this space as a neighborhood corner store, deli, or specialty market taps into a built-in customer base that will only grow to need it more. + Spaces Built for Inspiration + First Floor: The Classic "Beer Cave" & Storefront The Footprint: A spacious, open-concept commercial layout featuring the building's classic walk-in "Beer Cave." The Potential: Retain the commercial infrastructure for a boutique retail shop or grocery, or completely reimagine it. This level features ideal structural bones for an art gallery, community center, performance space, or creative studio. Second Floor: Grand Live/Work Apartment The Footprint: An incredibly large and airy 3-bedroom apartment complete with a living room, dining room, and full bathroom. The Potential: Flooded with abundant natural light, this sprawling flat is the ultimate setup for a live/work studio. Live upstairs while running your dream business below, or use the entire second floor as an expansive, sun-drenched creative workshop. + Endless Possibilities + From a hyper-local neighborhood hub to a private artistic compound, properties with this level of character, flexible zoning, and location upside rarely hit the market. Bring your tools, your talent, and your timeline to build something extraordinary in Detroit's most dynamic creative district.
