Open live directions ↗Property & potential
A roughly 10,200-square-foot site with an approximately 3,600-square-foot warehouse. The listing presents rehabilitation or teardown as alternatives and reports a long-term tenant. Existing occupancy, lease termination rights, building condition, residential conversion feasibility and fraternity use are not established.
Building: 3600 sq ft · Year built: UNKNOWN — research pending · Beds/baths: UNKNOWN — research pending / UNKNOWN — research pending
Parking, housing, chapter/event capacity: UNKNOWN parking; UNKNOWN housing. Read the findings below; no legal capacity is inferred.
Potential plan: Existing-property concepts only: first test whether the warehouse can legally and economically convert to housing and chapter functions; compare that against demolition and a replacement building. Do not treat a phased vacant-land plan as the default while the structure and tenancy remain in place.
Overall view: Conditional — the ask is below the acquisition target, but the small site, warehouse conversion, tenant rights, legal use, housing capacity and all-in cost are unresolved. The first gate is a lease/title/code package plus a measured site and building test fit.
Flood, legal use & transit
Flood: UNKNOWN; FEMA and Harris County status must be checked by parcel. Flood-insurance quote: UNKNOWN.
Deed/HOA restrictions: UNKNOWN; fraternity residential/assembly use: UNKNOWN.
Transit: UNKNOWN — review listing notes and METRO source. Safety: Site-specific assessment not established unless recorded below.
Location pin: 29.6959, -95.3512 (Approximate listing-area center; exact parcel pin pending verification).
Findings, sources & due diligence
Existing warehouse and tenant · Major diligence item
The listing reports about 3,600 square feet of warehouse space and a long-term tenant. It does not establish usable residential or assembly condition, vacant possession, lease economics or a lawful conversion path.
Next: Obtain the lease, rent roll, inspection access, certificate of occupancy and a contractor/code feasibility review.
Source: HAR / Zillow listing View source ↗Legal chapter use · Unverified
Recorded restrictions, plat notes and approval for fraternity residence, meetings and events have not been reviewed. The property's current warehouse or land marketing does not prove the proposed uses are permitted.
Next: Order title/restriction documents and request written use and change-of-occupancy guidance for the exact program.
Source: County and City review pending View source ↗Flood, safety and insurance · Unverified
Effective flood mapping, local drainage history, site-specific safety conditions and fraternity-related insurance pricing remain unverified.
Next: Complete parcel flood/drainage review, evening site visit, incident-context review and insurance indications.
Source: Property-specific diligence pending View source ↗Small site envelope · Known constraint
At about 0.234 acre, the site must accommodate any building program, accessible and fire access, drainage and parking. The warehouse footprint further limits the starting layout.
Next: Prepare a survey-based test fit before assuming 10 residents, chapter space or parking can coexist.
