Tea Development Land Offers Retail, Business, Multi-Family, and Industrial Options
Get ready for your business to benefit from unprecedented growth as you move or expand into this premier new development in Tea.
The Tea Commerce development is at Gateway Boulevard and Sundowner Avenue, allowing ideal access to the growing community and the broader metro area it serves.

Parcels are available from 1 to 10 acres, offering excellent visibility to more than 12,000 vehicles daily – a number expected to grow substantially as major road projects are completed in the area.
“We see this as an excellent opportunity for a mixed-use development that includes retail, office, residential and flex/industrial space,” said Bradyn Neises of Bender Commercial Real Estate Services, who has the land co-listed with Isaac Jorgensen and Alex Soundy.
The development benefits from great access to Gateway Boulevard, which serves as the main corridor in and out of Tea, and soon will benefit from an expanded road network with the construction of South Veterans Parkway, Neises said.
“The site not only serves the growing community of Tea but, due to its proximity to Sioux Falls, also caters to southern and western Sioux Falls. Additionally, it is well positioned to draw traffic from travelers moving north or south on I-29,” he added.

The development will kick off with construction of a new Kwik Star, bringing a popular convenience store, gas station and car wash to the area.
“Kwik Star showed early interest as the developer was designing the site,” Neises said. “We are excited for them to begin construction and to bring energy and increased traffic into the Tea Commerce development.”
The development offers flexibility in lot sizes, and the developer is open to working with interested parties to meet their needs, he continued.
“We are currently in discussions with a hotel operator, several quick-service restaurants, retailers, medical office users and multifamily developers interested in adding residential units,” Neises said.
“As we receive inquiries, we work to piece the puzzle together to create a functional and successful development for all involved.”
In the first two phases, the vision is for the site to host a mix of quick-service and full-service restaurants; medical offices, including dental, physical therapy and chiropractic practices; a bank; and additional strip center retail.
“The location is also ideal for a coffee shop, given its exposure to morning commuter traffic,” Neises said.
As the development enters its third phase, the focus will shift to industrial zoning.

“There has already been strong demand for these lots from contractors, manufacturers and warehouse operators,” Neises said. “We are collaborating with the city of Tea and neighboring developers to extend city sewer service to this area. Once the sewer project nears completion, we have a solid list of interested users ready to secure these sites.”
The developer also has acquired an adjacent 76 acres, with plans to expand the Tea Commerce development to the west.
“While still in the design phase, the goal is to create a cohesive development that incorporates a variety of uses, benefiting owners and tenants within the park as well as the community of Tea,” Neises said.
