Mark a mark on one of Texas’s fastest-growing hubs with this flexible commercial, residential, or mixed-use development site fronting Interstate 20 in Baird, Texas.
Spanning 76.7 acres with flexible zoning and the option to divide into 10-acre tracts, this prime opportunity provides strong potential for a variety of projects, including a new travel stop, RV park, man camp, residential community, and more. The raw land features level topography and includes an existing access road, allowing for a simplified development process. The site is located near a 138 kV line and has all utilities provided through a neighboring Love’s Travel Center. The presence of Love’s reinforces the desirability of the site for a new travel center, able to benefit from the existing customer base and strong cross-traffic.
This rare opportunity presents one of the few properties ideal for an RV park or man camp that includes sufficient water access. RV slots in the region are in short supply due to area data management projects, allowing a new project at the property to benefit from the area’s outsized demand. Currently, hotel and overnight revenue is having a record-breaking year in neighboring Taylor County, with Q1 revenue up 28.5% year-over-year, the highest growth rate among Texas cities. Tourism in the region is empowered by outreach efforts from the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau, stimulating consistent occupancy gains each month and more than $567 million in economic impact from tourism during 2024.
Direct frontage to Interstate 20 and Highway 283 empowers developments at the property with unmatched exposure to over 28,000 daily vehicles, providing top-of-mind positioning for regional customers and travelers. This well-connected location sits just 21 miles east of Downtown Abilene, allowing convenient travel to Taylor County’s most popular destinations, including the Taylor County Coliseum, the Abilene Zoo, the Frontier Texas Museum, and the Grace Museum. The site is also within 20 minutes of two hyperscale data center projects, including the expansive StarGate development. These high-impact projects will drive a built-in audience of more than 6,500 contractors within 40 miles of Abilene over the next five to 10 years. Proximity to these highly visited attractions delivers additional strength to residential developments, RV parks, and man camps, allowing tenants/guests to enjoy the best that the area has to offer.
