Sale Description |
|
The Ypsilanti Planning department has indicated that the property could be purchased under a condominium arrangement where the parking lot is shared common area and the church is under one ownership and the annex is under another ownership. Thus the church could be sold separately from the annex. |
Loft Redevelopment |
|
The Ypsilanti Planning department has indicated that the property could be redeveloped with the annex being one condominium and the church could be redeveloped into three to five more residential condominiums. The existing parking could meet the requirements. This could accommodate loft development. |
Excluded Fixtures |
|
The pipe organ and stain glass windows are excluded from the sale. If a church wants to have the pipe organ and stain glass windows included in the sale then we can negotiate those items. If the property is redeveloped or sold for another use, the owner will contract to have the stain glass windows and pipe organ removed from the building. |
