Project Scope and Financials

The estimated cost for this private project is $300,000, which equates to $26 per square foot. This figure is below the median cost for new construction in McLennan County, which stands at $970,000. The scheduled build window of 815 days is longer than the county median of 245 days.

Benjamin Gonzalez has one other TDLR-registered project, MLK Gym in Hewitt, with a value of $1,200,000. Abacus Engineering, Inc. has been involved in six other registered projects totaling $5,818,000, including the Waco Civic Theatre and GM Wholesale. These other projects have reached various stages of review or inspection completion.

The project was registered with TDLR in January 2020, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in March 2020 with a planned completion date of May 2022. Although this date has passed, the TDLR record has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The surrounding area, ZIP 76708, has a population of about 27,679 people and a median household income of $66,764. Other registered projects in the vicinity include Casey's, Bimbo Bakeries, and Pilgrim's Pride. The McLennan County unemployment rate was 4.6 percent in July 2026, which is higher than a year earlier.
