📰About EMMA LOU'S BOUTIQUE
Emma Lou's Boutique occupies Suite E of the 5522 FM 1488 Retail Center in Magnolia, Texas. The TDLR record identifies this as a new construction project involving an interior build-out of an existing shell building. The site covers 4,032 square feet, with an estimated cost of $102,000. This places the project below the median estimated cost for new construction filings in Montgomery County, which stands at $800,000.
The owner of record is Leopard Properties, LTD, while Crescent Design Group LLC served as the design firm. Sharareh Abdi is the registered accessibility specialist for this filing. The project was registered with TDLR in June 2023, with construction scheduled to begin in August 2023. The completion date listed on the filing was September 2023, a date that has already passed.
Project Status and Scope
TDLR closed the project file in September 2023, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The scope of work is strictly limited to the interior fit-out within the existing structure. The estimated cost per square foot is $25, which is below the county median of $100 per square foot for similar new construction filings. The scheduled build window of 31 days was shorter than the county median of 213 days.
Leopard Properties, LTD has two other TDLR-registered projects in Magnolia, including another unit at the same retail center. Crescent Design Group LLC has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects across Montgomery County, with a total value of $1,308,650. Nearby businesses in the immediate area include Deacon Baldy's, 1488 Hair Studio, and Woodland Landings.
Third-party sources, such as a Facebook post by EmmaLousBoutiqueOfficial, describe the location as a storefront where customers can try on new fall arrivals. A listing on papercitymag.com also identifies the address as 5522 FM 1488, Suite E. These external mentions confirm the business identity associated with the construction project, though the TDLR record specifically tracks the physical build-out and accessibility compliance rather than retail operations.
