    What's special

    Large back parking lot
    Welcome to New Center! Great opportunity to pick up a 4-unit where Henry Ford, the Detroit Pistons and Michigan State University have announced a multi BILLION dollar development plan. Currently two units are occupied and two are vacant. The property has a large back parking lot as well. All units have separate gas and electric meters. Tons of rent potential in this area with the prospect of appreciation to match.
