AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- Could the end be near for skillet queso and frosty margs at the corner of West 45th Street and North Lamar?
Two retail lots at the busy street corner - including the Chili's location that has gained internet fame far beyond its walls - have been listed for sale.
The site at 4400 North Lamar include a Starbucks, a Chipotle, and other tenants. According to reporting by the Austin Business Journal, the Chili's site at 4420 North Lamar has a ground lease that runs through 2029 with no renewal options.
According to the listing from CBRE, the two lots can be sold separately from each other.
Mayor Kik Watson proclaimed April 5, 2024 as "Chili's at 45th and Lamar Day".
"The grassroots popularity of Chili’s at 45th & Lamar embodies the special kind of weirdness that makes Austin, well, Austin," Watson wrote in the proclamation.
According to the Travis Central Appraisal District, the two sites are appraised at roughly $9.4 million.
