000 N Houston Street

Shovel-ready commercial opportunity in one of the fastest growing pockets of the Texas Triangle. This 3.41-acre tract in Lorena comes with fully engineered and approved plans for a convenience store, gas station, and retail site, giving developers and operators a true head start. The engineered site plan includes a 4,000 sq ft building, five MPDs with ten fueling positions, completed grading and drainage, and a feasibility study already performed. The creek along the boundary falls outside the buildable footprint, ensuring a straightforward development path. Located just one mile from I-35, the property delivers over 1,200 feet of dual frontage on N Houston St and Old Lorena Road. Traffic counts at the intersection total 5,078 VPD, with frontage and turn traffic split nearly evenly. These volumes support regional C-store brands and continue to grow as residential development expands across Lorena and southern McLennan County. This site offers an exceptional land basis relative to projected post development values. Year one financial projections show strong potential, including an estimated $1.37M in C-store sales, 713k gallons of fuel volume, and a $176,016 net profit. If you’re looking for a shovel-ready commercial pad with approvals in hand, utilities in place, and high-growth demand drivers, this Lorena site stands out as one of the strongest development opportunities in the area.
