Commercial Real Estate

First and foremost, I would like to address the Division Avenue Business Association and a special thanks to their President Tommy Brann- without their tiresome work Division Avenue would not be rebounded as significantly as it is.  Please visit their website for further information on membership and business opportunities at http://www.d-a-b-a.org

4044 Division Avenue is truly an amazing “before and after” story- what was once a forgotten vacancy seemed to be transformed overnight into one of Grand Rapids most esteemed custom paint and motorcycle shops- D.C. Customs.  Take a look at some of their creations here: http://dc-customsgr.com

Truly, the fastest closing Chip and I have ever been a part of (offer was signed and closed within 36hrs) D.C. Customs redefines the term haste.  Closed at the end of November and operational within just a couple of months, this business is truly a diamond in the rough and a beacon of light for other aspiring small business owners to follow.  Don’t believe me? Well, check out these before and after photos.

4044 Division After

Not yet satisfied, a deserted residential parcel located directly behind the shop (that was included in the sale & scheduled for demolition) is in the process of being built into a custom-bike-themed coffee shop with a lower level tattoo parlor!  Check out the photo below for an update on building progress as of last week!

In closing, if you are looking for a custom paint job (not just limited to bikes) or are in the market for a motorcycle purchase- you have to visit D.C. Customs first!  Stop in and ask for Dave- tell him Greg and Chip sent you.
