Offering Summary
Brokered by Marcus & Millichap and powered by RealINSIGHT Marketplace, 3146 S Dairy Ashford Road is a 3,785 SF masonry car wash facility on 0.72 acres in West Houston's Katy Freeway West submarket. Built in 1996, the single-story, purpose-built wash and detail facility offers covered bays, surface parking, and full frontage along South Dairy Ashford Road, where traffic counts range from 25,798 to 33,739 vehicles per day; Westheimer Road carries 62,465 vehicles per day less than half a mile away. The property carries a building FAR of just 0.12, leaving much of the 31,250 SF parcel available for expansion, added site improvements, or alternative uses. Interstate 10 and the Energy Corridor are a short drive away, linking the site to one of Houston's largest office and industrial employment bases. Within three miles, the trade area includes 196,478 residents, 78,574 households, and 82,397 daytime employees, with household growth projected at 6.55 percent through 2030. Car wash facilities remain a resilient service retail category, supported by daily-need demand and minimal e-commerce exposure. Investors can pursue continued car wash operation, conversion to another automotive or quick-service use, or a longer-term repositioning of the land, at a starting bid of $250,000 via reserve auction September 22-24, 2026.
