The latest property is a small neighborhood retail plaza at 3600 S. Congress. Russell Moore, owner of Commercial Property Group, tore down an auto parts store and replaced it with a freestanding 5,500-sf retail plaza. The lead lease belongs to La Mariela 1 Meat Market, which intends to sublease 2,500 sf.

"All of our projects are specialty needs," Moore tells GlobeSt.com. "The client makes a request and we just try to fill that need."

Commercial Property Group also has developed a successful 8,600-sf Blockbuster Video-anchored plaza along S. Congress at Oltorf, just south of the H-E-B grocery store. In about two months, they will begin the conversion of a filling station at nearby S. Lamar and W. Mary, which will become a 1,900-sf Quizno's sandwich shop.
