Land For Sale • 0.82 AC
A ±0.82-acre (±35,815 SF) urban infill parcel in the heart of Downtown Houston, positioned just south of the Pierce/I-45 corridor within an established downtown/medical district. The L-shaped, hard-corner site offers multiple street frontages — Austin Street, St. Joseph Parkway, La Branch Street, and Pierce Street — providing strong visibility and access in one of the city’s most historically significant blocks. Directly adjacent to Saint Joseph Medical Center (Houston’s first hospital, founded 1887) and within walking distance of the downtown core, Toyota Center, the convention district, and METRO light rail, the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire developable land in a supply-constrained downtown submarket. Full municipal utilities are available via the City of Houston, and the site sits outside the FEMA 100- and 500-year floodplain, with no pipelines or wetlands of record.
