Retail Building in Manvel, TX

A new 7,535 sq ft retail building is located at 3405 CR 58 in Manvel, Texas, within Brazoria County. The project is registered with TDLR as a new construction effort by Three Star Operations LLC, with an estimated cost of $500,000. This places the project below the median estimated cost for similar new construction filings in the county, which stands at $800,000. The calculated cost per square foot is $66, also below the county median of $117 per square foot for comparable projects.

Construction Timeline and Status

TDLR completed plan review in September 2021, and the filing scheduled construction to begin in September 2022 with a completion date of March 2023. The scheduled build window of 182 days is close to the county median of 224 days for similar projects. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The TDLR status is listed as Review Complete, indicating that the planning phase was finalized, but the absence of a final inspection means the physical completion of the building is not verified in the registration data.

The design firm of record is TN Associates INC, which has been involved in several other TDLR-registered projects in the region. These include a retail building in Richmond and a convenience store in Hockley, both of which have completed their review processes. The project is privately funded on private land for private use, consistent with the majority of commercial registrations in the area. The site is located inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, specifically zone AE, which typically requires specific floodplain management considerations during construction.

Local Context and Comparisons

Manvel, in ZIP code 77578, has a population of about 27,195 people according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates. The median household income in this area is $132,571, and the median owner-occupied home value is $359,500. The housing stock is predominantly owner-occupied, with 9,939 housing units recorded. These demographic and economic indicators suggest a stable local market for retail services. Three Star Operations LLC has four other TDLR-registered projects totaling $3,160,000, including a convenience store and gas station in Manvel and a retail building in Hockley, all of which have completed their review processes.

Other registered projects in the immediate area include Keating Hyundai, Building A, and MCV Pomona Retail, all listed as new construction. This concentration of new commercial development suggests ongoing investment in the Manvel and surrounding Brazoria County area. The project’s cost and size align with the trend of mid-sized retail developments in the region, though its specific cost per square foot is lower than the county average, potentially reflecting efficient construction practices or specific design choices by TN Associates INC. The lack of a final inspection record means that while the project was scheduled for completion in early 2023, its current operational status cannot be confirmed from the TDLR public record alone.
