Located at 9929 Homestead, Houston, TX 77016, this expansive 11.71-acre commercial shopping center site is situated in northeast Houston, approximately two miles east of I-69 (Eastex Freeway). Once a bustling retail hub anchored by a 126,890 SF K-Mart and various pad-site retailers, the property has remained vacant since 2013, presenting a unique redevelopment opportunity.
Investment and Improvements
Since acquiring the property, the current owner has invested over $5 million in extensive preconstruction and site improvements to position the site for revitalization. Key efforts include:
- Comprehensive conceptual plans, including the “Community Bridge” plan to enhance local engagement and revitalization
- Completed Phase I and II Environmental Studies, clearing the property for development
- Extensive building cleaning, graffiti removal, and new exterior painting
- Routine site maintenance and full tax payments
Development Potential:
With its strategic location, this site has the potential to transform the surrounding community. Redevelopment could catalyze local workforce expansion, attract additional retail and grocery stores, and foster local entrepreneurship, as detailed in the Community Bridge presentation. Additionally, the property’s location aligns with Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) guidelines for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), adding another layer of potential for mixed-use or residential projects.

This property is part of the City of Houston’s Brownfields Redevelopment Program (BRP), dedicated to converting urban land and historical landmarks into valued community assets.
