The facility treats a wide range of emergency cases and is equipped with on-site diagnostics, imaging, and in-house lab services to deliver timely, high-quality care. As a critical part of the local veterinary network, the hospital serves an essential, always-in-demand role within the community.
  • Minimal Landlord Responsibilities | Scheduled Rental Increases: The lease features above average annual rent escalations of 2.50% and minimal landlord responsibilities, limiting ownership obligations solely to the foundation, exterior walls, and roof, providing a highly passive investment with consistent income growth.
  • AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) Accredited Hospital: The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) sets the benchmark for excellence in companion-animal veterinary care. Earned by only about 15% of veterinary practices in the U.S., AAHA accreditation signifies that a hospital meets or exceeds over 900 rigorous standards covering patient care, safety, and operational performance, assuring clients of the highest level of veterinary service. Accredited practices consistently experience measurable business advantages, including higher revenue, stronger client retention, increased new-patient growth, and reduced client attrition.
  • Prime Location: The hospital is ideally situated in the heart of Killeen’s primary retail hub, adjacent to Killeen Mall, a 557,000 SF regional shopping destination featuring over 100 stores and surrounded by national anchors including Walmart Supercenter (top 3% nationwide), Lowe’s, The Home Depot, Best Buy, Kohl’s, Hobby Lobby (top 4% nationwide), and well-established dining operators such as Chili’s, Olive Garden, In-N-Out Burger, Chick-fil-A, Whataburger, and Texas Roadhouse.

  • No State Personal or Corporate Income Tax: Texas imposes no personal or corporate state income tax, resulting in one of the lowest overall tax burdens for businesses and owner operators nationwide.

  • Healthcare Real Estate | Recession Resistant Property: Veterinary hospitals are extremely sought-after investments for their resistance to downturns in the economy and e-commerce trends that affect traditional retail properties.
  • Tenant Investment in Location: Pet hospitals rarely relocate due to difficulty retaining the same patients in a new location and the high costs associated with moving and build outs.
  • Robust Industry Growth: The global veterinary services market, valued at $156.5 billion in 2025, is projected to reach $263.1 billion by 2034,growing at a compound annual rate of 5.94%.
