INVESTMENT OVERVIEW
Marcus & Millichap’s Hospitality Division is pleased to present a unique premier select-service development opportunity in League City, Texas — a proposed Aloft by Marriott. Positioned at the highly visible crossroads of Houston and Galveston, this ±4.92-acre shovel-ready parcel offers investors a rare chance to deliver the first new select-service hotel in the market in years. This entitled ±4.92-acre parcel is uniquely positioned to capture unmet hospitality demand at the exact moment growth and demand converge. With a premier lifestyle-oriented Marriott brand opportunity, strong local fundamentals, and virtually no direct competition, the site represents a time-sensitive chance to establish a flagship select-service hotel in one of southeast Texas’s most compelling growth corridors.
With direct I-45 frontage, the site is surrounded by powerful corporate, medical, leisure, and academic demand drivers. Anchored by NASA’s Johnson Space Center, HCA Houston Healthcare, UTMB campuses, and the University of Houston–Clear Lake, the corridor sustains strong midweek business and medical travel. Meanwhile, family-oriented attractions such as Great Wolf Lodge, Kemah Boardwalk, Space Center Houston, and Galveston Island’s beaches and cruise terminals fuel robust weekend and group visitation.
League City is one of the fastest-growing and most affluent suburbs in the Houston MSA, with a population now exceeding 115,000 and strong household incomes well above the regional average. The Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land MSA—home to over 7.6 million residents—continues to lead the nation in population growth, job creation, and economic expansion. League City itself has surged beyond 115,000 residents, with high household incomes and strong housing growth making it one of the metro’s most affluent suburbs. Despite accelerating demand, the market offers virtually no select-service competition, creating a high-barrier-to-entry environment with significant upside for a globally branded lifestyle hotel.
