📰About Tom James
The Timberheights renovation at 2505 W. 11th St. in Houston is complete. This 1,304 sq ft interior buildout inside an existing structure cost an estimated $75,000, a figure that places the project in the bottom quarter of Harris County renovation filings by total cost.
Timber Heights LLC served as the owner and developer of record for this private, privately funded project. The work involved an interior buildout in an existing building, registered with TDLR in November 2022. The filing identified the project name as Tom James, likely referencing the specific business or tenant associated with the space.
Design and Construction Timeline
Loe Ortega Architecture was the design firm of record. The company has six other TDLR-registered projects in the region, including work in Tomball and other Houston locations, with a combined value exceeding $3.7 million. Construction began in January 2023 and was scheduled for completion by March 2023. The final inspection passed in March 2023, confirming the structural and accessibility requirements were met.
The scheduled build window of 89 days was close to the county median of 92 days for similar renovation and alteration projects. The cost per square foot was $58, which is below the Harris County median of $80 for this project type. This efficiency reflects the specific scope of the interior work rather than the broader market average for new construction or larger alterations.
TDLR closed the project file in February 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The site is located in ZIP code 77008, an area where the median owner-occupied home value is approximately $609,300 according to U.S. Census estimates.
The filing status is Project Closed, indicating that the regulatory review is finished. While the construction phase concluded in early 2023, the closure of the TDLR file in 2026 finalizes the administrative record for this specific accessibility project in Harris County.
