4551 S Padre Island Dr
Corpus Christi, TX 78411 South Side

A rare opportunity to lease a like-new restaurant facility on one of Corpus Christi's most traveled commercial corridors. Previously home to a Hooters Restaurant, this space has been purpose-built for food & beverage operations — fully rebuilt in 2023 and ready for your concept and buildout.
Following fire damage, the kitchen and roof were completely reconstructed in 2023, giving the next tenant the benefit of brand-new infrastructure without the cost of ground-up construction. The bones are solid, the systems are fresh, and the space is primed for a new operator to make it their own.
Property Highlights:
*  High-visibility location on S Padre Island Dr, a major retail and dining corridor with strong daily traffic counts
*  Fully rebuilt kitchen space and new roof (2023) — modern, code-compliant, and move-in ready for your equipment
*  Solid original foundation and walls — proven structural footprint from an established restaurant operator
*  Restaurant-configured infrastructure — existing layout designed for food service operations
*  Ample parking — former casual dining footprint with generous lot
* Corpus Christi's growing market — strong tourism, military, and local consumer base
Ideal For: Casual dining concepts, sports bars, franchise operators, or independent restaurateurs looking for a fresh, modern space without the cost of building from the ground up.
