IT IS TIME TO SECURE THESE 3.5 ACRES of commercially zoned land at the NW corner of Zimmerman Road & N. Long Lake Road on Traverse City’s desirable west side. Positioned at a traffic-controlled intersection and surrounded by established residential neighborhoods, schools and everyday services, this highly visible site offers an exceptional setting for future development. Exceptional visibility at the signalized corner of Zimmerman & N Long Lake Roads, with combined traffic counts exceeding 25,500 vehicles/day. With approx. 152,460 SF of land, generous parcel dimensions and access to municipal water, public sewer & natural gas, much of the infrastructure today’s developers look for is already within reach. Commercial zoning opens the door to a variety of potential uses, including professional or medical offices, neighborhood retail, restaurant/food service and other commercial concepts. Mixed-use possibilities add another dimension, with residential space potentially permitted above commercial development subject to applicable zoning requirements and approvals. Minutes from downtown Traverse City with convenient access to the growing west-side population, this is more than vacant land. .. it is an opportunity to create something that serves the surrounding community for years to come. Bring your vision to one of the west side’s most recognizable intersections and explore what these 3.5 acres at Zimmerman and N. Long Lake Road could become.
