77 Acre Site Adjacent Runway M-553 Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport Hwy Lot | Terrain commercial | 31,16 ha | À vendre | 3 353 688 € | Gwinn, MI 49841

Situated within the Sawyer Mission-Critical Campus at the former K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base, this 77.99-acre development site offers a rare opportunity for aviation, aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, advanced manufacturing, and mission-critical industrial users. The parcel is identified as approximately 77.99 acres on the survey.
The property features predominantly flat topography, allowing for efficient site development and flexible campus planning. It is strategically bordered by M-553 to the west, providing immediate highway access; the Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport runway to the east; the planned future crosswind runway to the north; and additional land to the south for future expansion.
With direct access to Sawyer's 9,000-foot runway, FAA air traffic control tower, and extensive airfield infrastructure, the site is ideally suited for aircraft maintenance (MRO), aerospace manufacturing, flight operations, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), defense contractors, logistics, and aviation-related research and development.
A significant competitive advantage is the site's immediate access to expansive Military Operations Areas (MOAs) over Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Lake Superior, providing one of the nation's premier environments for military aviation training, autonomous systems development, UAS testing, and defense-related flight operations. Few commercial airport developments offer this level of unrestricted access to military-controlled airspace.
The property also benefits from its location within the Michigan Defense Corridor, placing tenants within a growing network of defense manufacturers, technology companies, military installations, and research institutions supporting the U.S. Department of Defense. This strategic position enhances opportunities for collaboration, supply chain integration, workforce development, and federal contracting.
As part of the broader Sawyer Mission-Critical Campus, the site is planned to benefit from resilient behind-the-meter energy generation, high-capacity fiber connectivity, and scalable infrastructure designed to support energy-intensive industries, artificial intelligence, secure computing, and advanced manufacturing.
Combining exceptional airfield access, strategic transportation links, military airspace, proximity to the Michigan Defense Corridor, and significant expansion potential, this 77.99-acre site provides an unmatched platform for organizations seeking to establish or expand mission-critical operations in one of the Midwest's most strategically positioned industrial and aviation campuses.
