Jack in the Box
2020 CONSTRUCTION WITH EXPRESSWAY VISIBILITY | 74K VPD | 15% INCREASE EVERY 5 YEARS
Marketing description
The Northmarq National Restaurant Group is pleased to present this single-tenant Jack in the Box located at 180 East Central Texas Expressway in Harker Heights, Texas. The asset offers investors a freestanding, 2020 construction drive-thru restaurant on a 1.03 acre parcel with more than 45 parking spaces, pylon signage, and a 24-hour drive-thru, secured by a long-term absolute NNN lease with roughly 13.8 years remaining on the original term and contractual 15% rent increases every five years, delivering a passive, management free investment with built-in NOI growth.
Located along Central Texas Expressway (US-190) at FM 2410, one of Harker Heights' primary commercial corridors, the property benefits from direct connectivity to Interstate 14, Killeen, and the Fort Hood gates, with 74,480 vehicles passing the site daily. The surrounding trade area includes more than 128,000 residents within five miles and an average household income of $100,198 within one mile, supporting strong retail and restaurant demand. Major employers such as Fort Hood, one of the largest U.S. Army installations in the country with 59,695 direct employees, along with Baylor Scott & White Health, Seton Medical Center Harker Heights, AdventHealth Central Texas, Killeen ISD, and Texas A&M University–Central Texas, contribute to a stable economic base and strong daytime population.
The corridor continues to attract national retail, dining, and hospitality investment, including newly delivered LongHorn Steakhouse and Crunch Fitness locations within three-quarters of a mile, a Walmart Supercenter and Sam's Club anchoring the immediate node, and national hotel flags such as Hilton, Best Western, and Wyndham within a mile. Broader growth is reshaping the market, from Flintrock Builders' 380-acre, 900-home Preserve at Thousand Oaks to new industrial and technology parks advancing across Killeen.

- THE ARMY'S HEAVY COMBAT HUB | 10 MILES OUT - Harker Heights sits 10 miles from one of the largest military economies in the country. Fort Hood spans 214,968 acres with 59,695 direct employees and is the Army's hub for U.S. heavy combat forces.
- 12,000-EMPLOYEE HEALTH SYSTEM - Baylor Scott & White Health employs roughly 12,000 people across the region and ranks as the metro's top employer behind Fort Hood. Killeen ISD, a regional Walmart distribution center, and H-E-B round out a diversified civilian employer base that carries the market well beyond the military.

AREA 254 draws families to bowling, laser tag, and arcade entertainment, and Stillhouse Hollow Lake anchors regional recreation with boating, fishing, and hiking through Dana Peak Park.
