Building description

Located at 205 S State St in the heart of Downtown Ann Arbor, this rare first-floor retail opportunity offers 7,638 SF of premier street-level space in one of Michigan's most dynamic urban submarkets.

Previously occupied by Buffalo Wild Wings, the space is now available for lease for the first time since the building's construction in 2004, presenting a unique chance to secure a fully built-out restaurant location with strong legacy infrastructure in place.

Positioned along the highly active State Street corridor, the property benefits from exceptional visibility and continuous pedestrian traffic driven by its direct proximity to the University of Michigan's Central Campus, as well as surrounding national retailers, bars, restaurants, and student housing. The immediate area serves as a primary connector between campus and downtown Ann Arbor, generating consistent foot traffic throughout the day and into the evening.

The site boasts an outstanding 97 Walk Score (Walker's Paradise), reflecting its true pedestrian-oriented environment where daily needs, entertainment, and dining are all within walking distance. This level of walkability supports strong daytime and nighttime population density, making it one of the most sought-after retail corridors in the Midwest.

The space features prominent frontage, excellent street exposure, and a flexible open layout well-suited for restaurant, bar, experiential retail, or service-oriented concepts. Existing infrastructure from its prior restaurant use provides significant value for operators looking to minimize buildout costs and accelerate opening timelines.
