15 Acres on West 45th Street
C-2 Regional Commercial | Opportunity Zone
Prime Commercial Development Opportunity
This property lies within Shawnee’s fastest-growing retail and dining corridor. This 15-acre tract on West 45th Street is shovel-ready and ideally positioned just west of Shawnee Marketplace and the approved site for The Home Depot, separated only by a narrow strip of land. The location is anchored by national brands such as Hobby Lobby, Burlington, T.J. Maxx, Ulta, Five Below, Aldi, and PetSmart, with additional specialty retailers, restaurants, and service tenants ensuring consistent regional draw.
Zoned C-2 Regional Commercial, the site supports medium to large-scale retail, office, and service uses. Public water, sewer, electric, and natural gas are available nearby or across 45th Street, creating a development-ready site for large-scale commercial use. The 45th Street widening project, with right-of-way acquisition underway and construction anticipated in 2026, will expand the corridor to four lanes, which improves visibility and connectivity.
Located within a federally designated Opportunity Zone, this tract offers potential tax benefits for qualified investors. Competitively priced in line with recent Shawnee commercial corridor sales, this site is one of the few large-acre development opportunities in a proven, high-traffic location with immediate access to Kickapoo Avenue and Interstate 40. Shawnee serves as the principal city of its own Micropolitan Statistical Area and is part of the Oklahoma City–Shawnee Combined Statistical Area (CSA), offering regional visibility, workforce strength, and connectivity within the greater Oklahoma City economic region. This is a rare chance to secure frontage in the city’s most dynamic growth corridor, often called the Kickapoo dining and shopping corridor.
