15-Year Triple-Net Ground Lease
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the exclusive offering for a subject Velvet Taco; an investment opportunity in the economic powerhouse
of Southeast Texas within Harris County, and more particularly located at 2626 West Loop South in Houston, Texas. Opened January 25th, 2021,
the subject investment consists of a 2,132 SF building on a +/- 0.23-acre parcel. Situated just off one of the nation’s busiest thoroughfares, Loop
610 as an outparcel to The Galleria, Texas’ largest shopping center and fourth largest domain nationally. The subject property is located on the
west side of Loop 610, which experiences average daily traffic counts exceeding 252,400 vehicles, respectively. To the west: Dillard’s; To the
south: The Galleria; To the east: Shell Gasoline. Houston is a city in Texas, within the Houston - The Woodlands - Sugar Land metropolitan
statistical area.
The investment opportunity is subject to a brand new 15-year, triple-net ground lease with Taco Libre XXIII, LLC dba Velvet Taco (“Tenant”).
The lease commenced upon store opening, January 25th, 2021 and is subject to two (2), five (5)-year tenant renewal options, bringing the total
possible lease term to 25 years. The initial rent is $350,000 and is subject to increase by ten percent (10.0%) every five years. The lease is
corporately guaranteed by Velvet Taco, Inc.; which currently operates 20-units and has vast expansion plans.
Velvet Taco is a temple to the liberated taco. They’re a one-of-a-kind taco concept serving premium food in a unique & funky fast-casual setting.
Founded in 2011, the Dallas-based concept set out to elevate the taco through globally inspired recipes and the freshest ingredients. The
acclaimed restaurant provides a broad sampling of international tastes and inventive combinations, delivering flavors that are as memorable as
they are delicious. Velvet Taco is disrupting the idea of the taco shop, with an inspired response to consumers' increasing desire for premium
quality and a fun, authentic dining experience. In 2016, Velvet Taco was awarded Nation’s Restaurant News “Hot Concept.” With a handmade
tortilla as their vessel and the guiding motto “set my tacos free,” the sky's the limit on Velvet Taco’s menu. Drawing from globe-trotting flavors and
breaking the mold with inventive combinations, the chef-inspired concept offers a broad sampling of over 20 taco varieties on their innovative
menu, as well as creative sides and dessert. Chefs prepare everything from scratch—from slow-roasted rotisserie chicken to housemade
pickles—and borrow from the historic roots of inner-city taquerias on one hand, and modern recipes on the other. The company is partnered with L
Catterton, a leading consumer focused private equity firm that has invested in high-profile companies such as Equinox, Vitamin Water, and
CorePower Yoga.

HOUSTON TEXAS MARKET OVERVIEW
Houston is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Texas, fourth-most
populous city in the United States, most populous city in the Southern
United States, as well as the sixth-most populous in North America, with an
estimated 2019 population of 2,320,268. Located in Southeast Texas near

most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States and the
second-most populous in Texas after the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, with
a population of 7,066,141 in 2019. Houston is the southeast anchor of the
greater megaregion known as the Texas Triangle. At 655 square miles, the
City of Houston could contain the cities of New York, Washington, Boston,

Houston has grown to become the energy capital of the world. Houston is

world. As a testament to its standing as a diverse and dynamic city, one in
four residents is born abroad and more than 145 languages are spoken in
Houston. In the mid-20th century, Houston's economy diversified, as it
became home to the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest
concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's
Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.
Thrillist ranked Houston among "The 7 Most Impressive American Cities of 2017" for its

nine counties: Harris, Galveston, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Chambers,
Montgomery, Austin, Liberty and Waller. The Gulf of Mexico, which
borders the metro to the southeast, provides access to markets around the
world via the Port of Houston, making it a prime location for exports. As
local industries have diversified from oil to technology and healthcare,
population growth has sprawled, primarily to the north and west, sustaining
Houston’s position as the fifth-most populated metro in the nation with
more than 6.9 million residents. The city of Houston is home to nearly 2.3
million residents.
CORPORATE GROWTH
Houston will remain a top destination for corporate
relocations due to its business-friendly environment.
Twenty-two Fortune 500 companies are headquartered
in the metro.
HIGHER EDUCATION
Over 40 post-secondary educational institutions are
located in the metro. Nearly 30 percent of residents have
attained a bachelor’s degree, with 10 percent also
holding a graduate or professional degree.
Quality of Life
Outdoor activities abound in Houston as a result of the city’s favorable
location and climate. More than a dozen state parks and recreation areas
lie within a short drive of Houston, as well as more than 500 parks and
open spaces, along with various cultural venues and museums. Johnson
Space Center is a popular tourist and educational destination. The metro
is also known internationally for its medical community and is home to the
Texas Medical Center, the largest of its kind in the world. Houston is
home to four professional sports teams: the Houston Texans, the Houston
Astros, the Houston Rockets and the Houston Dynamo.
