Chaney's Tobacco Station in Sulphur Springs, TX

Chaney's Tobacco Station is a new retail building located at 1609 Posey Ln in Sulphur Springs, Texas. The four-thousand six-hundred seventy-two square foot structure is being constructed for Trey, Kirk & Chad Chaney. Dynamic Engineering serves as the design firm of record for this project, which is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as an accessibility-compliant filing. The estimated construction cost is five hundred thousand dollars, translating to one hundred seven dollars per square foot.

Project Timeline and Status

The project was registered in October 2022, with plan review completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in December 2022, with an initial completion date set for October 2025. Although that scheduled date has passed, the TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. This means the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the project remains in a state of administrative limbo regarding its final accessibility certification.

Financial and Market Context
