Bed Bath & Beyond

The renovation of the Bed Bath & Beyond store at 1560 Lake Woodlands Dr. in The Woodlands is complete. TDLR closed the project file in January 2021, marking the end of the accessibility review for this 34,951 sq ft facility. The work involved updating the interior of the existing retail space within the Town Center area of Montgomery County.

Heitman Capital Management, LLC was the owner of record for this privately funded project. The filing specified a scope of work focused on new interior finishes and commercial fixtures. Contractors removed select light fixtures and installed new lighting as required, along with new power connections to support the updated layout. The estimated cost for these alterations was $50,000.

Project Scale and Cost

This filing stands out for its low cost per square foot. At $1 per sq ft, the estimated investment is significantly below the county median of $85 per sq ft for renovation projects. The total estimated cost of $50,000 is also in the bottom quarter of similar filings in Montgomery County, where the median cost is $248,202. While the total cost is modest, the scheduled build window of 123 days was longer than the county median of 92 days for comparable work.

MCG Architecture served as the design firm of record, guiding the alterations to ensure compliance with accessibility standards. Robert V Buck was the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project was registered with TDLR in May 2020, with construction starting in September 2020.

Context and Neighboring Businesses

The Woodlands Town Center hosts several other major retailers, including Best Buy, Target, and The LEGO Store. A Facebook post by fb-answers reported that Bed Bath & Beyond closed its Woodlands location as part of a nationwide shutdown in 2023, providing context for the store's operational status following the renovation. The TDLR record confirms the construction and accessibility review were finalized in early 2021, but does not dictate the subsequent business operations.

Heitman Capital Management, LLC has other TDLR-registered projects, including a Best Buy in The Woodlands and a Grand Lakes I|30 in Grand Prairie, both of which are closed. MCG Architecture has worked on several other retail renovations, such as a Ross Dress for Less in Tomball and a Petco in Tomball. The local area has a median household income of $84,468 according to Census estimates for the 77380 ZIP code, reflecting the demographic profile of the region where this renovation took place.
