Own a piece of Lubbock history in the heart of a downtown on the rise. Originally home to Womble Oldsmobile, 1301 Buddy Holly Avenue pairs authentic mid-century character with the infrastructure today's businesses need. It's a rare chance to build your brand in one of West Texas's most distinctive commercial buildings. Original tin ceilings and exposed brick interior walls give the building the kind of warmth and authenticity that can't be replicated in new construction. The former dealership offers approximately 11,000 square feet of flexible interior space plus a 1,500-square-foot covered patio and drive-through area, which opens up possibilities from outdoor dining and event space to drive-up service. The open layout works for a wide range of uses, including a restaurant or brewery, retail showroom, creative office, event venue, or mixed-use concept. A new TPO roof, installed within the last couple of years, gives buyers or tenants confidence that the building's character comes without the headaches often tied to historic properties. Downtown Lubbock is in the middle of a transformation. Major public and private investment has brought landmark projects like the Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences, the Citizens Tower civic center, and a growing lineup of restaurants, hotels, residential lofts, and entertainment venues. The Depot and Arts Districts continue to draw locals and visitors alike, and redevelopment momentum keeps building block by block. Getting in now means positioning your business ahead of the growth curve. Located just minutes from Texas Tech University, the property sits within easy reach of more than 40,000 students plus thousands of faculty and staff. That puts a young, active customer base and a deep talent pool close at hand, along with steady traffic from game days, graduations, and campus events throughout the year.
