Van Horn Avid Hotel

The Avid Hotel in Van Horn is a new three-story structure spanning 39,649 square feet, valued at an estimated $8,000,000. Located at 1805 Frontage Road along Interstate 10 in Culberson County, this project was registered with TDLR under the filing name Van Horn Avid Hotel. The construction scope included the primary building, site works, and landscaping.

Summit Group served as the owner of record, while D1 Architect & Associates Inc. handled the design. The project was privately funded on private land. Construction began in March 2023 following the initial TDLR registration in February of that year. The scheduled build window extended to December 2024, a period of 641 days that exceeds the median scheduled build window of 181 days for similar new construction filings in Culberson County.

The estimated cost per square foot was $202, which is below the county median of $278 for comparable projects. The total estimated cost places this project in the top quarter of new construction filings in the county, where the median estimated cost is $2,000,000. The final inspection was passed in December 2024, confirming the completion of the physical construction work as described in the filing.

Project Status and Regulatory Closure

TDLR closed the project file in October 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This regulatory step confirms that the accessibility requirements for the new hotel have been fully addressed and reviewed by the state. The project is now listed with a status of Project Closed in the TDLR records.

Summit Group has another TDLR-registered project, the Residence INN by Marriott in El Paso, which is valued at $9,000,000 and has completed its review. D1 Architect & Associates Inc. has been involved in six other registered projects, including the Eden Apartment Building in Garland and the Carefirst Urgent Care & Emergency Center in Frisco. These additional filings demonstrate the firm's and developer's ongoing activity in the Texas construction market.
