DELL PS3 Hardware Library and CTO

Dell Technologies filed a TDLR registration for Parmer South 3, a renovation of its facility at 701 E. Parmer Lane in Austin. The project, identified in the filing as the DELL PS3 Hardware Library and CTO, involves remodeling existing rooms and installing new doors across 4,321 sq ft of space. The estimated cost for this alteration is $500,000, which calculates to $116 per square foot.

The work is classified as a renovation or alteration on private land. Cushing Terrell is the design firm of record for this project. The filing indicated a construction start date of February 2023 and a target completion date of May 2023. However, the public record shows that no plan review or inspection has been recorded since the registration, so whether the work proceeded as scheduled is not confirmed in the available data.
