The parcel sits adjacent to the 66-unit Venlo Place Apartments, bringing immediate residential density next door, and directly across the street from Arby’s Restaurant, showcasing the confidence of national brands in this corridor. Wal-Mart, Meijer, Menards, and additional national retailers are located just east along Perry Avenue, making this corridor the primary shopping and dining destination in Big Rapids. Perry Avenue continues to see strong growth with new development activity, fueled by steady population demand, university presence, and convenient highway access. This large corner site offers flexibility for development with ample acreage for building, parking, and site design. Whether for quick-service dining, multi-tenant retail, medical office, or other commercial uses, the property’s size, location, and visibility make it an exceptional choice. Rarely does an opportunity of this caliber come available along Perry Avenue — Big Rapids’ most dynamic commercial corridor. FSU's Katke Golf Course is across the street!
