Property For Lease

Once home to Houston’s beloved State Theater, which opened its doors in 1941 with the premiere of “Strawberry Blonde”, this storied address has evolved with the city itself. In later decades, it became a cornerstone of Houston’s music scene — first as The Vatican (1991–1993), a legendary live music venue that hosted iconic performers like Nirvana, and later as The Abyss (1993–1998), known as the go-to spot for Houston’s alternative and grunge culture. Most recently, the property has served as the headquarters for Media Systems, a premier home automation company operating here for many years. Situated in a high-traffic area along the bustling Washington Corridor, 5913 Washington offers an unbeatable location surrounded by top restaurants, nightlife, and new development. The property includes 11 parking spaces, 6 of which are covered, offering a rare convenience for this sought-after area. Whether envisioned as a vibrant retail or hospitality concept, a creative office hub, or a redevelopment opportunity, this property carries both historic character and unmatched visibility in one of Houston’s most dynamic corridors. Estimated Operating Costs (per seller): Electricity $800/month, Water & Sewer $150/month, Insurance $1,000/month, Property Tax $31,161.68/year.
