About

Parcel Description/Ownership

This 26 acre parcel is zoned heavy industrial and located in the heart of Downriver. The property offers an incredible opportunity for a wide variety of manufactures, producers, and industries. The industrial site is situated along four railways serviced by Conrail, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Canadian National. The site is strategically located in proximity of Interstate 75 (5 miles), the Detroit Metropolitan International Airport (11 miles), and Downtown Detroit (13 miles). Infrastructure currently developed onsite includes 13.8 KV electrical facilities, water main, and sanitary sewers.

In 2023, the site underwent a comprehensive due diligence review through the VIP program, including a detailed site condition analysis, comprehensive information on utility providers and capacity, and a comprehensive report on site details (full report in the VIP document library).

The City of Wyandotte has leased this property to the owners listed through a 99-year long-term lease agreement with an additional 99-year option to renew. The owner and developer will be responsible for negotiating and establishing all lease and management terms. In addition to this site, the owner has additional manufacturing space, commercial offices and other mixed-use properties within close proximity of the subject site to facilitate the user’s long-term growth strategies. The City of Wyandotte aims to foster new commercial and industrial users on this site as a means to benefitting the community, providing employment opportunities and bolstering the tax base. The property is available for redevelopment at a time that the Metropolitan Detroit region surges with new development. The new Gordie Howe International Bridge Crossing, the McLouth Steel site redevelopment, and the future closings of two coal-fired DTE power plants in Trenton and River Rouge are just a few projects that will create a significant amount of opportunity for new businesses and industries coming to Southeast Michigan, and for the expansion of existing businesses into new markets throughout the Great Lakes region.
