Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 3,865 square foot retail condominium is located in Downtown Houston, specifically within the Bayou Lofts Condominium building at the corner of Franklin Street and Main Street. Originally constructed as an office building between 1910 and 1920, the building was converted to condominiums in 1997. The property is currently occupied by La Calle, an Authentic Mexican Street Taco restaurant that opened its first location here and expanded into the adjacent space. The restaurant benefits from its Downtown location, which draws significant traffic. The area has a high daytime population due to numerous large office buildings, with over 184,600 people within a one-mile radius. The property's location on the Metro rail line provides convenient ground transportation to various destinations. The Harris County courthouses are located just two blocks away, and Minute Maid Park, Toyota Center, and BBVA Stadium generate nighttime traffic. The average household income within one mile exceeds $106,000.
