Description
The subject property is located in the Greater Fondren Southwest submarket of southwest Houston, at the signalized intersection of South Gessner Road and West Airport Boulevard in the 77071 ZIP code. This section of Gessner functions as an established north-south retail arterial, already anchored by a Walmart Neighborhood Market roughly half a mile north and a CVS Pharmacy at the same intersection, and it sits close to Beltway 8/Sam Houston Tollway, which lists West Airport and Gessner as sequential exits along its southern leg. The immediate trade area is bordered by well-established, long-settled neighborhoods including Sharpstown, Westbury, Braeburn, and Meyerland, contributing a steady base of nearby rooftops and daily commuter traffic to the corridor. Demographically, the Greater Fondren Southwest area — covering ZIP codes 77031, 77035, 77071, and 77096 — is home to approximately 50,600 residents, per recent Census Bureau estimates, with a median household income near $56,400 and a median age of 37. The population is renter-heavy and multicultural, with a Hispanic-majority presence in much of southwest Houston, supporting consistent demand for everyday, non-discretionary neighborhood retail and services. At the metro level, Houston continues to lead the nation in population growth, with the 10-county metro area reaching approximately 7.9 million residents in mid-2025 after adding roughly 126,700 people in a single year — the largest numeric gain of any U.S. metro. The region’s economy grew about 10.6% from 2022 to 2024, supported by manufacturing, energy, and healthcare. Houston’s lack of traditional municipal zoning further adds long-term flexibility for ownership to reposition or redevelop a well-located corner site like this one as the surrounding corridor continues to grow. Investment Highlights: • 15 Year Corporate Absolute Net Lease (Zero Landlord Responsibilities) featuring 10% Rental Increases Every 5 Years throughout the Initial Term and Options. Comp
