300 North Zeeb

Located just west of the City of Ann Arbor at the northeast corner of I-94 and Zeeb Road, the opportunistic acquisition of this 70-acre site was led by MAVD in 2012. The western 29.3 acres is ideally positioned for office and commercial development: zoned for office and industrial uses, excellent access and visibility from I-94, and a highly improved infrastructure, with redundant fiber, heavy power, and ample City water and sewer. It is the former headquarters for University Microfilms, Inc. (later known as Bell + Howell, ProQuest, and National Archives Publishing). Preliminary MAVD studies indicate a 250,000–300,000 SF development is feasible.

The eastern 40-acre parcel, zoned agricultural, has rolling meadows, wooded areas, and wetlands. With access via West Delhi Road at the eastern boundary of the site, this land is suited and zoned for future large-lot residential use, or could be rezoned for multi-family development.

In 2022, Prior to development of the site, MAVD led the sale of 300 North Zeeb to a technology entrepreneur who benefitted from the location, zoning, and existing building. The transaction returned solid returns to the investors with minimal risk.
