The Midland Emergency Communication District filed for the new construction of an office facility at 5000 Portico Way in Midland, Texas. This project involved the erection of a 4,999 sq ft structure with an estimated cost of $1,000,000. The registration was processed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in May 2019, with plan review completed in the same month. Construction began in June 2019, and the filing indicated a scheduled completion date of June 2021.

Jason S Dean Architects LLC served as the design firm of record for this build. The owner of record is listed as Midland Emergency. The project utilized public funds or public land, a common characteristic for emergency communication infrastructure. The estimated cost per square foot was $200, which is above the county median of $167 for similar new construction filings in Midland County.

Project Scope and Timeline

The scope of work was defined specifically as new construction for an office. The scheduled build window for this project was 732 days, which is longer than the county median of 243 days for comparable new construction projects. The TDLR record shows that the project was registered in May 2019 and construction started in June 2019. The filing noted a completion date of June 2021, but the regulatory process continued beyond that initial schedule.

TDLR closed the project file in September 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This closure indicates that the regulatory requirements for the project have been fully addressed and the file is no longer active for review purposes. The project is now considered complete in the state's accessibility tracking system.

Midland County has seen 120 new construction projects registered in the last 24 months. The median estimated cost for these projects is $1,000,000, placing this project directly at the county median. The median size for these projects is 8,127 sq ft, making this 4,999 sq ft facility smaller than the typical new build in the area. The design firm, Jason S Dean Architects LLC, has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $5,440,000, showing a consistent portfolio of small to mid-sized commercial and institutional builds.
