The filing lists the estimated cost at $20,000,000 for 4,534 sq ft of work. This results in a cost per square foot of $4411. CIT Acquisition Corp serves as the owner and developer of record, while Beck Architecture holds the title of design firm of record.

Work on the Old Parkland Tower began in May 2020. The scope of work specifies that the ground floor, designated as Level 1 at 100', and the basement are considered public and accessible. The tower located above grade level is explicitly not considered accessible. The filing notes that the tower has no intention of supporting or sheltering any use or occupancy. This is a privately funded project on private land for private use. The scheduled build window for this project was 518 days, which is longer than the Dallas County median of 243 days for new construction.

When compared to 8295 TDLR-registered new construction filings in Dallas County, the Old Parkland Tower stands out for its scale. The median estimated cost for these projects is $950,000, with the middle half ranging from $301,300 to $4,500,000. The Old Parkland Tower cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter. Similarly, the $4411 per sq ft is above the county median of $126. The median size for new construction in the county is 9,634 sq ft, making this project smaller in footprint but significantly higher in value density.

These include Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Kaufman in Kaufman, Saint Paul Place in Dallas, and several other hospital and hall projects in Austin and Kaufman. CIT Acquisition Corp has one other TDLR-registered project, also the Old Parkland Tower, though the context notes a total of $5,000,000 for that other entry, which appears to be a duplicate or related filing.

The completion date on the filing was October 2021. TDLR closed the project file in October 2021, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The status is recorded as Project Closed. Third-party sources have mentioned the site, including a Facebook post by Lithko Dallas noting that gunite was complete on the structure. The TDLR record covers the construction accessibility review only and does not indicate whether the building is occupied or operational.
