"Texas, often referred to as the Lone Star State, is a thriving hub for economic growth and innovation, making it an attractive destination for commercial real estate investment." - Chris Evans

Why Tomball, Texas Is a Hotspot for Commercial Development — And How Land Surveys Play a Vital Role

Tomball is quickly gaining attention from commercial real estate professionals looking for strategic locations near Houston without the congestion or overhead of inner-city development. With easy access to SH 249 and proximity to major suburbs like Cypress and The Woodlands, Tomball offers prime space for business parks, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and retail centers.

But before a single foundation is poured, one crucial step helps developers stay on schedule and avoid legal pitfalls: a commercial land survey.

At South Texas Surveying, we help real estate investors, title companies, and builders in Tomball get the accurate land data they need to move forward confidently.


Why Commercial Land Surveys Are Essential in Tomball

Tomball’s mix of rural and suburban land can present challenges: undeveloped parcels with unclear boundaries, rapid rezoning, and increasing utility infrastructure. Without a proper survey, investors may run into unexpected easements, boundary disputes, or drainage issues that delay or derail a project.

A professional commercial survey ensures:

  • Verified boundaries and setback compliance

  • Mapped utilities and easements, including access roads

  • Zoning and topographic clarity for engineers and architects

  • Lender confidence through ALTA-certified documents

  • Drainage analysis through elevation and topographic data
