6737 Southwest Fwy
Houston, TX 77074

6737 Southwest Fwy. A property with deep history, landmark architecture, and an unbeatable location along one of Houston’s busiest freeways. With over 80,000 sf of iconic building structure situated over 7.74 acres, the site boasts well over 500 feet of freeway frontage and near perfect accessibility. Seen by over 300,000 cars per day as they make a short 3 mile commute from the property to the Galleria, 10 mile hike downtown, or 7 mile drive to Houston’s medical center. It is impossible to find another site in Houston with the same attributes. Even if you could compile the land tracts, the history would not be nearly as interesting, and it would cost a fortune. The story begins in 1965 with Kenneth “Bud” Adams. Famously known for bringing professional football to Houston with the Oilers, Bud Adams was a pioneer and forward thinker. This is clearly evident with construction of his Southwest Dodge Dealership in the middle of what was at the time, sprawling cow pasture as far as the eye could see (hard to believe, I know). With its sweeping roofline and walls of glass, the mid century / Googie design style of the architecture perfectly captures this innovative and futuristic thinking - picture The Jetsons, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch. At the time hailed as one of the most modern buildings in America, the site has become an iconic fixture and landmark among many local Houstonians. You can find plenty of press to prove it! After moving the Oilers to Tennessee, the property sat vacant for nearly two decades. This is how many Houstonians remember the site. A sleeping security guard out front, a few old cars in the showroom, and an otherwise abandoned property. Like a fine wine, the property was aging gracefully, patiently waiting for what's next. Fast forward to today, where the entire property has gone through a full renovation. From asbestos abatement, to environmental remediation, down to energy efficient window film. A custom roof mural was even hand painted by a local artist over the freshly applied TPO roofing. Further contributing to the site’s significance as a stand-out landmark, along with adding a modern aesthetic to the futuristic roofline. New fire sprinkler systems, HVAC, restrooms, lighting, and site paving are just a few of the other modern creature comforts to mention. See attached for full improvement list. The entire property is in turn key condition. Ready for you to add your story. Waiting for you to attach your name to the Houston landmark. Ready for you to write the next chapter, and continue making history at the iconic address, 6737 Southwest Freeway.
