Commercial Building for Lease in Michigan: 796 Campus Parkway, Tecumseh
27,500 Square Feet, Interior Still Open
This commercial building for lease or sale in Michigan is new construction that has not been finished yet, and the interior is being held open by design. The 27,500 square foot building at 796 Campus Parkway sits in the Tecumseh Business and Technology Campus, a municipally owned greenfield industrial campus inside the Adrian-Tecumseh SmartZone district.
The shell, parking lot, landscaping, and signage are scheduled for completion in November. The interior remains unfinished so the incoming occupant can determine the layout before construction proceeds further.
Interior Built Around Your Operation
Most new commercial buildings for lease in Michigan are delivered finished, requiring a tenant to accept the existing layout or pay to modify it after occupancy. At 796 Campus Parkway, the concrete floor in the production area has not been poured and the interior walls have not been framed. A tenant securing the space now participates in decisions on wall placement, the layout of the roughly 3,000 square foot office area, and the treatment of the space below floor level.
Because the slab remains open, an in-ground pit or crane foundation can be designed into the building rather than added after the fact. Machining, fabrication, and heavy assembly operations that would typically be excluded from an existing building can be accommodated here.

Room to Expand on the Same Parcel
The building sits on roughly 7 acres and was designed so an addition can be built onto it without reworking the existing structure. Large doors on the rear and south elevations support that expansion. A company requiring closer to 50,000 square feet can be accommodated through an addition rather than a relocation.
The Tecumseh Business and Technology Campus has approximately 132 acres remaining, so a company that outgrows an expanded building still has room to grow inside the same campus.
An Approved Tax Abatement That Reaches the Tenant
Tecumseh City Council has approved this property for an Industrial Facilities Tax exemption, structured so the abatement flows to the tenant rather than the developer. Under a triple net lease, the tenant carries the property taxes, so the tenant receives the savings directly. Qualifying tenants can apply for the exemption for a term of up to 12 years.
That approval is already in place, which shortens the path considerably compared with pursuing an abatement from scratch after signing a lease.

Location and Logistics
The building sits in an industrial campus with M-50 frontage and secondary access via Billmyer Highway, both established trucking corridors. Campus Parkway is already built, with a roundabout, curb cuts, and utilities run to the curb.
Companies weighing commercial buildings for lease or sale in Michigan against space in Washtenaw County and metro Detroit will find both the occupancy cost and the tax burden here materially lower, while remaining within the same regional supplier and labor network.
