Located less than ¼ mile from I-20 in Ruston, this 4.237-acre commercial development site at 1322 Cooktown Rd offers a strong opportunity for investors or developers seeking land in one of Ruston’s growing commercial corridors. The property features approximately 188 feet of frontage on Cooktown Rd, a high-visibility corridor serving the Louisiana Tech exit from Interstate 20. Zoned B-4 Highway Business, the site allows for a wide range of commercial uses including retail, restaurant, service businesses, office, and other highway-oriented development. The parcel is partially cleared with trees lining the perimeter and currently includes a residential structure that is considered to have no contributory value, making the property well suited for redevelopment. The depth and configuration of the parcel provide flexibility for a variety of potential development layouts. Directly across the road is a retail center anchored by several national retailers including Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Ulta, Old Navy, and Five Below, and the surrounding area includes nearby apartment communities that contribute to the strong daily traffic and customer base in the corridor. The corridor is also expected to see additional commercial activity with the planned Buc-ee’s travel center approximately two miles away. With excellent interstate access, proximity to Louisiana Tech University, nearby national retailers, and continued area growth, this property presents a compelling opportunity for commercial, service, or mixed-use development in Ruston.
