1.46 Acres Commercial Land, Alvin

At $699,000 for 1.46 acres in Alvin, this is around $10.99 a square foot, and the interesting part is what has already been done to the site.

• Curb, gutter and road access are installed. All utilities are on site.
• One block from the Highway 35 Bypass and Highway 6, with future Grand Parkway access expected.
• Suited to retail, a clinic, a hotel, a gym or storage.

A parcel that is already improved and already served is a different product from raw dirt at the same price per foot. The improvements are months of time you do not have to spend.

Three things I would check before writing an offer

• How real the Grand Parkway timing is. Future access is the single most common reason land is priced above its present value, and the gap between announced and built in Texas highway work routinely runs years. Find the segment, find its funding status, and find the current schedule from TxDOT rather than from a brochure. Then decide whether you are paying today for something that arrives inside your hold period or after it.
• Whether the utilities on site are the utilities your use needs. Water, sewer, power and gas being present is not the same as them being sized for a hotel or a clinic. Get the capacity figures and the tap fees in writing from each provider. An undersized sewer line has killed more small developments than any zoning board.
• The detention and the drainage. Brazoria County and the City of Alvin both have requirements, and on 1.46 acres the detention pond is going to eat a visible share of what you thought you were buying. Quantify it before you draw a building.

Who it fits

• An owner-user who wants to build their own clinic, gym or small retail building and start from improved ground rather than a field.
• A patient land investor positioned for the Grand Parkway, who is honest with themselves about the timeline.

Who it does not fit

• A buyer needing income. Land produces nothing and the tax bill arrives annually regardless.
• Anyone paying the Grand Parkway premium without having read the actual schedule.

Financing

• Land is the hardest commercial asset to finance. Conventional land loans typically want 35 to 50 percent down on a short term, and many banks decline them outright.
• SBA 504 funds land where the buyer builds and occupies, which is the usual path for an owner-user on a parcel this size.
• Under the rules effective October 1, 2026 the equity injection on an SBA deal is 10 percent of total project cost.

Not a commitment to lend. Subject to lender underwriting. Terms vary by borrower.
