1023 S Washington: The Ultimate Creative Industrial Headquarters

Position your brand at the epicenter of REO Town’s renaissance. This isn't just a 14,388 sq. ft. building; it’s a statement of industrial heritage and limitless future potential. Built in 1925 as a Lansing's Hudson-Essex dealership, this massive facility offers the rare "triple threat" of commercial real estate: historical soul, expansive warehouse volume, and dedicated off-street parking.

The Warehouse Canvas

The heart of this property is a sprawling, high-bay warehouse that defines "industrial chic." With soaring 25-foot ceilings and an intricate exposed steel truss system, the space is perfectly suited for a single-user operation that requires both scale and style.

• Drive-In Access: The original 12’x12’ interior drive remains functional, allowing you to bring vehicles, heavy equipment, or large-scale art installations directly from Washington Avenue into the core of the building.
• Climate & Power: Stay operational year-round with efficient radiant ceiling heat and a robust electrical setup featuring two separate services, offering enough juice for high-demand fabrication, brewing, or tech infrastructure.

The Showroom Edge

The street-facing portion of the building provides the "face" your business deserves.

• Terrazzo Elegance: The dual storefronts features stunning, original terrazzo flooring, providing an immediate high-end feel for a flagship lobby, showroom, or executive gallery.
• Glass & Visibility: Large storefront windows offer maximum exposure at the gateway to the REO Town district, capturing the attention of the neighborhood's growing foot traffic and creative professional demographic.

Rare REO Town Amenities

In a district where parking is a premium, this property stands alone. Included in the .425-acre footprint is a dedicated off-street parking lot directly adjacent to the building. Whether you are hosting clients or managing a fleet, the logistics are already solved.

Location: The REO Town Pulse

You are steps away from the Grand River, the Lansing River Trail, and the city’s best coffee and craft culture. With major high-density residential developments and the Michigan Talent Partnership's focus on turning this into a "Creative Talent District," 1023 S Washington is the premier choice for an end-user looking to anchor themselves in Lansing’s most vibrant neighborhood.
