Battle Creek Industrial with Income in Place — 330 Upton Ave $1,299,000 | 26,060 SF | 2.51 Acres | Battle Creek, MI The Ellsbury Group presents 330 Upton Ave, a 26,060 SF masonry industrial building on 2.51 acres in Battle Creek's established Upton Ave/Grand Trunk Ave industrial corridor, minutes from W Dickman Rd and I-194. The property offers true distribution and light-manufacturing specs: four loading docks, 18' clear height, 3-phase power, and a new roof, plus rail adjacency and ample fenced outdoor storage — an increasingly scarce combination this close to the city core. The building is currently generating $66,000 in annual income ($5,500/mo) from two in-place tenants, equating to roughly $2.53/SF. Lease structure and remaining term are available to qualified buyers upon execution of an NDA. Market NNN rents for comparable Battle Creek industrial space currently run $4.95-$8.00/SF, suggesting room for upside depending on how the in-place leases are structured. The seller is also open to a leaseback, allowing a buyer to underwrite day-one income or plan for owner-user occupancy on their own timeline. 330 Upton Ave sits in a submarket where industrial makes up 34% of the commercial real estate base (vs. 24% nationally), driven in part by the 3,000-acre Fort Custer Industrial Park and tightening further with the Ford BlueOval EV battery plant opening in Marshall (about 10 miles away) in 2026. At $49.85/SF, the offering is priced in line with recent Calhoun County industrial sales, which averaged $45.62/SF, and sits mid-band within the market's $40-75/SF Class B range.
