1,500 SF Renovated Flex Building on 0.57 Acres
Property Overview
- 630 & 634 Claride St is a 1,500 SF flex building situated on two contiguous parcels totaling 0.57 acres in Corpus Christi, Texas. The property offers a rare dual-zoning configuration, with 634 Claride St held as a 0.19-acre residential (RL) parcel and 630 Claride St held as a 0.38-acre commercial (CL) parcel, giving a future owner meaningful flexibility in how the site is used and permitted going forward.
The current owner extensively renovated the building for use as a personal hobby space and workplace while spending time in Corpus Christi. The result is a well cared-for, move-in ready property that can transition seamlessly to a new owner's personal use, business operation, or income-producing rental.
The renovation was carried out with documentation to match: the building has been evaluated by a licensed Texas engineer and confirmed compliant with 2006 IBC wind load provisions, and a Certificate of Compliance (WPI-2E) has been filed with the Texas Department of Insurance.
Highlights
- Dual-Parcel Flexibility: The combined 0.57-acre site spans a 0.19-acre residential parcel (634 Claride, RL) and a 0.38-acre commercial parcel (630 Claride, CL), supporting a range of personal, business, and investment strategies under one ownership.
- Engineering-Certified & Windstorm Compliant: A licensed Texas engineer inspected the building and confirmed compliance with 2006 IBC wind provisions at a 120 mph design speed, and a WPI-2E Certificate of Compliance application has been filed with the Texas Department of Insurance.
- Quality Renovation: The building has been significantly improved with insulation and wind/weatherproofing, reducing deferred maintenance risk and utility costs for the next owner.
- Finished Interior: The interior finish-out includes a 300 SF finished office/apartment space with a mezzanine area, a kitchenette, and a remodeled bathroom, supporting live-work, office, or short-term rental uses.
- Warrantied Climate Control: Five mini-split HVAC systems are in place, with functional parts warranties extending through 2029 and 2034, giving a new owner years of covered comfort with minimal near-term equipment risk.
- Secured Site: A complete privacy fence surrounds the perimeter with a power gate (remote and two keypads) and a manual gate, along with floodlighting and a full security system for controlled access and peace of mind.
- V & Amenity Connections: A dedicated outdoor RV pad includes fresh water, septic, and 50-amp 220V electrical service, supporting recreational use, extended stays, or supplemental rental income.
- In-Place Parking Income: An existing month-to-month lease generates $250/month for five parking spaces, giving a new owner immediate cash flow from day one of ownership while they determine their long-term use of the property.
- Turnkey Condition: The property is being offered in renovated, functional condition, allowing a new owner to occupy or lease without significant additional capital investment.
Existing Income
- The property is not sitting idle: an active parking space lease is already in place, covering five spaces at 630 Claride St for $250/month on a month-to-month term (30-day notice to terminate by either party). The permitted use covers utility trailers, construction-debris dumpsters, and one recreational vehicle. This gives a new owner in-place cash flow from closing, whether they intend to keep the tenant, convert the site to owner-use, or reposition it for a different rental strategy over time.
Use Flexibility
- The property is well suited to a range of buyer profiles. An owner-user could occupy the space for personal enjoyment, a home-based business, or a live-work arrangement, taking advantage of the finished apartment/office and mezzanine area. A business owner could use the commercial parcel for operations, storage, or a small office while retaining the residential parcel for on-site living or staff use. An investor could lease the improved building and site for rental income, with the RV connections and secure fencing offering potential for flexible, month-to-month, or extended-stay tenancy.
