A roughly 7,575-square-foot fenced lot described as being used for business storage and parking. The ask is low, but the site is individually small and no residential, assembly, parking or utility program has been established.
Building: UNKNOWN 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: Vacant-land concepts may be tested in phases, but the small individual parcel must first prove a feasible 10+ bed footprint, chapter function, parking, drainage, utilities and emergency access. Adjoining land may be necessary.
Overall view: Conditional — the low ask is attractive, but the individual site is small and nearly every feasibility gate remains open. Advance only to a low-cost survey/title/utility test fit unless adjoining land materially changes the program.
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: 29.6668, -95.3332 (Approximate address-area pin; exact parcel coordinates pending verification).
The approximately 0.174-acre parcel is far below the preferred range. Current storage/parking use does not demonstrate that 10+ beds, chapter space, resident/event parking, drainage and fire access can fit.
Next: Prepare a survey-based test fit and identify any controllable adjoining property.
