Dell Children's Specialty Pavilion MOB - Tenant Improvements in Austin, TX

The Dell Children's Specialty Pavilion MOB tenant improvements project at 4910 Mueller Blvd in Austin is a completed new construction effort that covered 114,100 square feet. The work involved the interior finish-out of the existing shell space across the first, second, and third floors of the building. With an estimated cost of $17,471,109, the project represented a significant investment in medical infrastructure within Travis County.

Project Scope and Ownership

Seton Healthcare Family served as the owner and developer of record for this privately funded initiative. The design firm of record was HKS Inc., which is also associated with other major healthcare projects in Texas, including the Texas Health Harris Methodist Southwest Fort Worth Hospital. The scope was strictly defined as the interior finish-out of the existing shell space, ensuring the facility was prepared for its intended medical use.

The project’s financial scale placed it above the median estimated cost for new construction filings in Travis County. While the median cost for such projects in the county is $1,000,000, this initiative was in the top quarter of filings by cost. The cost per square foot was $153, which is above the county median of $125 per square foot for similar new construction work.

Timeline and Regulatory Status

The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in April 2020. Construction start was scheduled for September 2020, with a planned completion date of March 2021. The scheduled build window was 181 days, which is shorter than the county median of 304 days for new construction projects of this type.

TDLR closed the project file in March 2021, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This status confirms that the regulatory oversight for the project’s accessibility requirements has been concluded.

City of Austin permit records show one building permit issued at this street address between May 2024 and May 2024 for a tenant finish-out to create a medical office. This permit status is separate from the TDLR registration records for the larger pavilion project, which was completed in 2021. The area surrounding the project, ZIP code 78723, has a population of about 37,000 people and a median household income of $81,986 according to U.S. Census estimates.
