Description

Here's a rare find: a vacant parcel of land in downtown Kalamazoo! The seller turned this former rail yard into a beautiful Urban Nature Park, complete with parking, a walking trail, and a bridge leading to wetlands at the south end of the parcel. A fresh layer of topsoil was added around 2006 and native plants were installed throughout. Intermediate uses of the land could include parking, recreation, or a food truck park, but when rail consolidation comes to fruition, this is a dynamite redevelopment...Here's a rare find: a vacant parcel of land in downtown Kalamazoo!
