Excellent redevelopment opportunity in Houston’s South Union community near the Medical Center and NRG area. This 5,885 sq. ft. lot is being offered for lot value with the existing structure considered a tear-down, providing a blank canvas for new construction. Seller has already completed substantial preliminary work, including building plans/drawings, permits, soil testing and additional supporting documentation, available for buyer review. Whether considering a new single-family residence, townhome or other permitted residential development, this property offers an opportunity to move forward with valuable groundwork already completed. Convenient access to major Houston employment, medical, entertainment and redevelopment areas. Buyer to independently verify intended use, permitting, restrictions and development requirements.
Greater Ost-South Union, located between OST and South Union, is a residential and institutional Houston neighborhood with mid-century brick homes and broad, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the University of Houston campus edge near Calhoun Rd and Wheeler Ave, where student-foot-traffic, coffee counters, and campus venues set the daily rhythm. Architectural lines lean ranch-style and postwar infill, with deep setbacks and long driveways. University of Houston’s Cullen Performance Hall and the Blaffer Art Museum act as cultural anchors, while TDECU Stadium brings game-day energy. Green breaks appear at nearby MacGregor Park, and METRORail access at Palm Center Transit Center links the area to Downtown.

Great location, in close proximity to the NRG stadium and the Medical Center. A property with great potential. It is in need of a buyer with a vision to turn this property into a desirable home in an already desirable area just as others have done to properties in the same subdivision.
