The project, filed under the name Truck Stop, involves new construction for a privately funded facility on private land. The estimated cost of the build is $1,000,000, which translates to $298 per square foot. This cost per square foot is above the Harris County median of $88 for similar new construction filings.

Project Details and Scope

The scope of work includes the truck stop convenience store building and associated site work. Vega Architecture is the design firm of record for this project.

In Harris County, the median estimated cost for new construction is $750,000, and the median size is 9,000 sq ft. This project’s total cost of $1,000,000 is above that county median.

A listing on dkgas.com identifies the location as DK Gas Station #0899 and Oilfield Outpost.

TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection for this project. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. While the scheduled completion date of January 2024 has passed, the official status remains Review Complete without a final inspection entry. The project is privately funded, and no public funding sources are listed in the filing. The business is not confirmed to be open or operating based on the TDLR record, which only tracks construction milestones and inspections.
