11,236 SF Flex Retail Warehouse - Ionia, MI
Industrial/Office/Retail Property For Sale in Ionia, MI
410 Swartz Ct, Ionia, MI 48846FRE and AQRE Advisors are pleased to present the Online Classic Auction Event for a ±11,236 SF flex retail/warehouse situated on ±1.18 acres in southern Ionia, MI.
Positioned within a well-established commercial corridor, this offering presents a rare multi-parcel assemblage with immediate functionality and long-term expansion potential. The property includes an 11,236 SF flex retail/warehouse building at 410 Swartz Ct, along with three adjacent commercial land parcels — all zoned B-3 General Business with utilities in place — supporting campus-style development or a multi-tenant business park configuration.
Property Overview — 410 Swartz Ct
The 11,236 SF flex retail/warehouse features a flexible configuration suitable for showroom, office, and warehouse operations, with strong vehicular access and commercial visibility. The B-3 zoning allows for a broad range of commercial, office, service, mixed-use, and certain light industrial uses, and the property benefits from conditional City of Ionia approval for a recreational marijuana provisioning center — offering additional strategic upside. Ideal for an owner-occupant or value-add investor.

The building is a well-maintained, freestanding single-story commercial structure constructed in 2003 within the established Swartz Business Park. Described by prior brokers as "beautifully built," the building features 16-foot clear ceiling heights throughout, providing flexibility for a wide range of uses from retail showroom to light warehouse or distribution. The 84-space parking field — at 6.23 spaces per 1,000 SF — significantly exceeds standard retail requirements, supporting high-traffic or multi-tenant configurations. The building's Class B designation reflects solid construction quality and functional utility appropriate for commercial, service, or light industrial occupancy.
Note: Detailed construction specifications including framing type, foundation, mechanical systems, and exterior materials are not available in public records. The City of Ionia terminated its building department around 2009 and now defers to Ionia County Building Department, resulting in little to no availability of public records and permit or inspection history.
