Project Scope and Design

The scope of work, as documented in the TDLR filing, includes the construction of a speculative warehouse building and associated site improvements. Macgregor Associates Architects, Inc. served as the design firm of record for the project. Jeffery L Kelley was the registered accessibility specialist responsible for the review process. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use.

In terms of scale, the estimated cost of $7,500,000 places this project in the top quarter of new construction filings in Harris County, which has a median estimated cost of $750,000. The scheduled build window of 304 days is longer than the county median of 219 days. However, the cost per square foot, calculated at $41, is below the county median of $88 per square foot. This efficiency in cost per unit of space is notable for a facility of this size.

IDI Logistics has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $32,550,000, including facilities in Dallas and Lewisville. Macgregor Associates Architects, Inc. has three other registered projects in Houston, with combined values totaling $7,994,784.
