If you had 1/2 acre land that's zoned for commercial, doesn't need detention, and you'd like to develop it into income producing how would you develop it or what would you build?

Its not on a main road or highway but sits just outside a subdivision with average to above average income households.

Don't think it'll get much traction for sale and I'd rather try to get income out of it long term rather than a one time sale anyway. Suggestions appreciated.

Well retention typically means, you'll keep the water forever until it evaporates or you use it.

Detention is temporary in nature, as it is designed to retain the additional water your site is now shedding off due to impervious cover you put on the land. The water is detained for a short period of time, allowing it to re-enter the drainage system in approximately the same time span as it would if it was absorbed into the ground or sheet flowed over the ground and into a drainage ditch, creek, or channel.

Whatever. Every city development ordinance I've ever seen calls them retention ponds.

I've developed or redeveloped close to a billion dollars of real estate and I use the two words interchangeably. I think everyone knew what he meant and you kind of look like a jerk for calling him out on it when he was trying to help and cluttering the thread with a spelling debate.

Dry cleaner. But not the one that do it onsite. The one where they collect, then take the clothes to some big place and bring them back. Onsite is an environmental mess you don't want to deal with. And, no neighborhood is going to complain about a dry cleaner.

So many variables. Depends on location. Also location and location. Are we talking Woodlands, Texas City, Baytown? Half acre isn't much of a pad site. Do you just want to hold a while and let it appreciate? Is it situated somewhere you could rent it out to some food trucks?
Let's go, Brandon!

One use I've noticed in demand is basketball gyms. Again, not sure how it would work situated on just half an acre, but it seems like basketball and volleyball teams are always needing practice space.
Let's go, Brandon!

Put a little open air bar on it like West Alabama Ice House. People love those places.

Ideally we'd just like to build to suit something someone else is very eager to operate. That particular track will not be permitted for daycare.

Not enough land to accommodate required parking.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Evidently Dutch Bros seems to be the correct answer lately.

Seriously though, there are a few good suggestions in here, including talking to more experienced developers. Good luck!
