This RFI seeks property information; it is not a request to submit an offer.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is relevant to property owners and lessors with existing retail space in or near Tomball. It may suit firms that can provide a property of roughly the requested size and document its parking, floor plan, and rental areas.

How to respond

Send the requested property details to Marc Hortinela at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, ATTN: CESWF-RE-A (Lee), 819 Taylor Street, Room 2A06, Fort Worth, TX 76102-0300, or by email to [email protected]. Submit by October 28, 2026.

Include the building name and address, an as-built floor plan drawing, a digital street-view photo, BOMA rental and usable square footage, the rental rate per rentable square foot, and common area factors if applicable.

Prepare a clear property response

Check that the floor plan, area figures, and rental-rate calculation all refer to the same available space. Label BOMA rental and usable square footage separately, and state whether a common area factor applies.

Use a clear property address and a current street-view photo. Explain how the space meets the stated parking and compliance criteria, using information you can support; do not assume that submitting an expression of interest guarantees a lease.
