Prime development land directly across from Prairie View A & M University, surrounded by active growth along the Highway 290 corridor. This 10.5-acre tract sits between University Drive (FM 1098) and Business 290, right in the heart of Prairie View’s expansion zone. The property is mostly open and level, making it easy to plan for residential, multifamily, or neighborhood retail projects. Water, sewer, and electricity are in the immediate area providing easy access for builders ready to move forward. Developers are drawn to this location for its proximity to PVAMU, the Prairie View Cricket Complex, and the growing Waller County employment base including the Daikin plant and future Highway 36A corridor. Buyers looking for build-ready land near Prairie View A & M or opportunities to combine adjoining parcels (including the neighboring 11-acre tract) will see the potential here—strong visibility, utilities in place, and steady regional demand for new housing and services.
Suitable for commercial, multi-family, or residential use
