521 W Western Avenue

Muskegon, MI 49440

Own a rare piece of Muskegon's downtown legacy with this incredible 39,204 square foot historic building located at 521 W Western Avenue—just two blocks from the VanDyk Mortgage Convention Center and steps from Muskegon Lake, local breweries, restaurants, and the vibrant downtown social district. Built in 1926, this solid reinforced masonry and concrete structure has played many roles in Muskegon's history—from housing Hooper Brothers Chevrolet, to serving as a Midwest distribution hub for Datsun vehicles, and most recently, a private classic car collection. Set on a prominent corner lot with street and alley access, the property includes 14-foot ceilings, 14-foot overhead doors, interior parking, and open-span floor plans ideal for adaptive reuse. With its newly updated roof, the building is structurally sound, well-lit, and ready for transformation. Zoned B-3 (downtown commercial/industrial), it offers endless possibilities: loft-style residences, creative office suites, boutique retail or showroom space, event venues, or even a brewery or taproom. Surrounded by Muskegon's cultural and recreational gems including Hackley Park, The Monet Garden of Muskegon, the Heritage Memorial Garden, the Frauenthal Center, and the farmers market this property offers not just square footage, but significance and potential in one of Michigan's most walkable and revitalized urban corridors.
