About This Home

PRIME DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY | 2.78 ACRES WITH POTENTIAL SPLITS FROM .23 ACRES IN ORION TOWNSHIP’S BROWN ROAD INNOVATION DISTRICT Rare opportunity to acquire 2.78 acres of elevated, high-visibility land with potential splits available from .23 acres (buyer to assume all costs associated with any proposed split prior to closing), offering exceptional flexibility for developers, investors, and owner-users alike. The property presents multiple strategies for value creation, including the ability to purchase a smaller split lot (price per potentially split lot negotiable) or assemble with neighboring parcels for a larger-scale development footprint. Positioned within the uniquely flexible Brown Road Innovation District, the site supports a broad range of permitted uses including residential, commercial, regional commercial, retail, mixed-use, office, drive-thru, indoor/outdoor storage, and more (see documents for full list of potential uses). This rare multi-zoning advantage creates an uncommon opportunity to capitalize on both immediate and long-term development demand. Strategically located on Brown Road between Baldwin and Joslyn Roads, just off I-75, the property is surrounded by powerful economic drivers including Menards, Breckenridge by Pulte Homes, the newly constructed Hyatt House Hotel, and is just one mile from Great Lakes Crossing and the significantly expanded General Motors Orion Assembly Plant—positioned to become one of the largest manufacturing facilities in the country. Continued job growth, infrastructure investment, and regional expansion support strong future demand. The site’s elevated topography delivers outstanding visibility and exposure along heavily traveled Brown Road and Baldwin/Joslyn corridors, providing strong traffic counts, access, and branding potential. Located in highly desirable Orion Township and bordering affluent communities including Lake Angelus, Clarkston, Rochester Hills, and Oxford, the property benefits from strong demographics and sustained market appeal.
