Investment Overview
NAI Farbman is pleased to present 8001 W Outer Drive, the former Old Redford Academy High School campus in northwest Detroit. The approximately 11.83-acre site is improved with an approximately 101,553 SF, three-level school building, a 4,551 SF field house, an on-site football/athletic field and surface parking. The building includes 41 classrooms, a gymnasium with stage, two cafeterias, a full-size kitchen, an assembly room, locker and team rooms, and administrative offices, making it well suited for continued use by a charter, private or faith-based school, or for conversion to community, healthcare, workforce-training or other institutional uses.
The property's size, Southfield Freeway (M-39) frontage and visibility along W Outer Drive also position it as a large-scale redevelopment opportunity: nearly 12 acres of land in an established, built-out section of Detroit, less than a quarter mile from the M-39/McNichols Road interchange.
