Temple, TX 76502 (Bell County)
About this property
A 10.014-acre development site positioned in one of Temple's fastest-growing corridors along State Highway 36. The property offers strong highway frontage and visibility, sitting adjacent to national retail anchors like Dollar General, making it well-suited for a wide range of commercial uses. Situated on IH-35 between Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth, Temple sits at the heart of the Texas Triangle — a region defined by rapid growth, low unemployment, and an affordable cost of living. The market is being reshaped by major capital investment, including an $800M hyperscale data center — Meta's investment, alongside Rowan Digital Infrastructure's $700M development, both fueling long-term employment and logistics demand. This momentum builds on an already-diverse economic base: Temple offers a wide range of jobs across healthcare, technology, manufacturing, and marketing, and the city's advanced manufacturing and life sciences sectors are anchored by Baylor Scott & White Medical Center and the Temple Medical and Research District. With no zoning restrictions and low tax rates, the site is ideal for commercial, storage, RV park, industrial flex, or mixed-use development.
