yup. he also owns alot of the property around the toyota center and other lots downtown that he bought before the recent urban revival.

the only real estate geniuses are those who start with nothing and work their way to millions. he started with millions to invest with. he's a good investor.


"The properties Olajuwon buys are often ripe for further development, like parcels near Houston's new light rail line, in the Texas Medical Center and close to the city's baseball stadium, Minute Maid Park. He has also bought and sold centrally situated, or inner loop, properties near major intersections and highway exits. And in November he bought a prime 41-acre tract near the Johnson Space Center ."

It doesn't take a genius to pick those properties either. I have clients that want to buy them all the time but don't have the capital.

they're right here for anyone with the dough:
