5 Acres of Industrial Land for Sale in Tomball, TX

The Site

This five-acre tract sits on Medical Complex Drive just outside the Tomball city limits, in the SH 249 corridor at the northwest edge of the Houston metro. It is mostly cleared open pasture, with a single-storey house and outbuildings standing on the eastern portion of the land and a mature tree line along the boundary.

The land is offered for sale at $980,833.

Why the Floodplain Status Matters Here

The site is outside the 500-year floodplain. On a Houston-area industrial site that is a development-cost question as much as a risk question: sites inside the higher-risk areas carry heavier on-site detention requirements, and detention comes out of your usable acreage. Being outside those areas means more of the five acres stays available for the building and the yard, and it generally shortens the engineering path to a permit.

That is the single most consequential fact about this tract, and it is the reason a five-acre site here behaves differently from a five-acre site a mile away.

Access and Location

SH 249 is under a minute from the site. From SH 249 the connections run to FM 2920, the Grand Parkway (99), Beltway 8, US 290 and I-45, which covers most of the freight and commuting patterns across northwest Houston and out toward Magnolia and The Woodlands.

For an operation that needs trucks in and out without fighting across town, or that draws labour from the Tomball, Magnolia and Spring areas, the corridor position is the point of the site. Tomball sits in a part of the metro that has absorbed steady residential and commercial growth along 249, and industrial land inside that corridor is not abundant.

What It Suits

The tract is a fit for:

• Warehouse and distribution — including last-mile operations serving the northwest Houston and Tomball population, where proximity to rooftops is worth paying for.
• Fabrication and light manufacturing — the acreage supports a building plus the yard and circulation that fabrication operations actually need.
• Contractor and service-industry yards — where outside storage or a laydown area matters as much as the building.
• Owner-users buying rather than leasing — five acres with room to expand is a long hold, and owner-occupiers should look at SBA 504 financing, which is built for exactly this purchase.

What's On the Site Today

The photographs show the tract as it stands: open, mown pasture across the majority of the five acres, with a single-storey house, a barn-style outbuilding and a smaller structure grouped toward the Medical Complex Drive end of the property, and a drive running in from the road. Power runs along the road frontage.

If you are underwriting this as a development site, the existing improvements and the tree line along the boundary are the two things worth walking before you contract. Ask us and we will walk it with you.
