Description
Premier Retail Development Opportunity Along Houma's Primary Commercial Corridor
Commercial development opportunities are now available at the signalized intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Westside Boulevard in Houma, Louisiana. Flexible site configurations ranging from approximately one-acre retail pad sites to anchor parcels of nearly eleven acres make this property ideal for a wide variety of commercial development opportunities.
The corner has already been validated by national retailers, with RaceTrac currently constructing its newest location on the recently sold corner tract. An additional pad site is presently under contract, demonstrating continued market demand within this highly desirable retail corridor.
The proposed development concept includes five retail pad sites fronting Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard together with two larger anchor tracts served by shared access from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Westside Boulevard. The conceptual layout provides flexibility for restaurants, quick-service restaurants, financial institutions, medical users, automotive service, retail, grocery, entertainment, fitness, hospitality, and community shopping center development.
The property benefits from planned infrastructure improvements already underway. Public water is being extended across the frontage as part of the RaceTrac development, while the purchaser of another pad site is contractually obligated to construct a Parish-approved sanitary sewer extension along the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard frontage. Electric, natural gas, fiber optic telecommunications, and other public utilities are available to support future commercial development.
Located within Houma's premier retail corridor, the property is surrounded by an impressive collection of national retailers including Target, Lowe's, Walmart, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Best Buy, Ross Dress for Less, PetSmart, ULTA Beauty, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane's, Starbucks, Olive Garden, Buffalo Wild Wings, numerous hotels, financial institutions, and Southland Mall. The corridor serves as the regional shopping destination for a four-parish market throughout South Louisiana.
Adding to the area's continued growth, Terrebonne General Health System is developing an approximately $75 million Health & Wellness Center immediately west of the property, creating additional demand for retail, restaurant, hospitality, medical office, and service-oriented commercial development.
This offering represents one of the final opportunities to acquire highly visible commercial acreage within Houma's established retail corridor.
