~6 Acres • Multi-Family Development Site
Income-producing development opportunity in one of the fastest-growing coastal markets in Texas. Located just minutes from the waterfront in Rockport, this ~6-acre property is primed for a multi-family community build-out with substantial progress already in place.

The area is a highly desirable area in Rockport near Church & 1st St. This is a 6 acre multi-unit unfinished permitted development that would need a "tear down" of the current structures and a full development from the ground up. 

Estimated developments for land cost include:

- the land itself

- utilities 

- topography

- engineering

- permitting 


The cost to build the units from our homework would be $189 a foot. Each unit is about 1462 sqft. Each duplex is 2924 sqft. There is the ability to construct 19 duplexes that would create 38 individual rental units that could yield $1700 - $2300 a month. So a gross amount of $87,400 a month. 

Insurance will be $4000 per duplex a year ($333.33 a month)
Tax rate will be 1.09% so about $6,024 per duplex a year ($502 a month) in taxes per duplex
Property management fees would be 6% of total rents so $5,244 a month in fees

Yearly Gross Income: $1,048,800

Yearly Taxes for 19 duplexes: $114,456

Yearly Insurance Cost: $76,000

Yearly Property Management Fees: $62,928

Creating a Net Operating Income (NOI) of $795,416 a year  

Each unit will be approx 1462 sq ft. Each duplex will be 2924 sqft. CapEX / cost of construction per duplex is $552,636. Total cost remaining for a developer to finish out the neighborhood is $10,500,084 to construct the 19 duplexes. 

So taking conservative numbers on figuring out a possible cap rate of this property IF it were completely 100% rented and in a condition to be rented we use a formula adding the Weighted Average of Debt (WAD) plus the Weighted Average of Equity (WAE) which when added together gets us a cap rate for this project. 

Potential CAP RATE 6.57% (0.657)

Total estimated project cost is $12,106,788

10 foundations poured & ready
Approved capacity for 19 total duplexes (38 doors)
All city utilities available
Zoned and positioned for multi-family/commercial use

Whether you continue construction on the existing footprint or bring your own vision to build-out, this property offers a rare head start for developers and investors looking for scale, cash-flow opportunity, and long-term appreciation along the Texas coast.
