Real Estate Only - Detroit, MI
Welcome to the home of West End Studios! This solid, all-brick commercial building, believed to have been built in 1887 and originally known as the Frank Building, offers incredible potential and space, featuring two stories plus a basement with two access points. The structure sits in a B4-zoned corridor, allowing for a wide variety of uses, and retains its historic charm—formerly Fox Furniture & Hardware, established in 1949.
The property includes a 14' high by 16' wide bay door, two natural gas heaters, and a forced air furnace with minimal ductwork. The office area measures 16' x 12' and is air-conditioned for comfort. Power includes single-phase 220-volt service, and it's also equipped for three-phase with a 10-horsepower rotary phase converter. Most on-site tools and equipment will remain with the sale.

Situated just blocks from the $5.7 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge—due for opening in the fall of 2025—the property is in a high-visibility area set to benefit from ongoing economic growth. At 720 feet tall and 150 feet above the Detroit River, the Gordie Howe Bridge is now one of the top 10 longest bridges in North America and the largest Canadian-U. S. land port. The building is also near one of the few pedestrian-accessible international bridges to Canada, making it ideal for cross-border commerce or foot traffic-based businesses.
This is an outstanding opportunity to own in one of Detroit’s most strategically located industrial corridors.
