OK paper parking lot

Dallas College is developing a new parking structure at 2420 Butler Street in Dallas, a project registered with TDLR under the name Parkland Hospital. The filing identifies the scope as the construction of a parking lot with 764 parking spaces, covering a total area of 258,000 sq ft. This new construction project is estimated to cost $2,400,000, which works out to approximately $9 per square foot.

The project was registered with TDLR in July 2023, with plan review completed in the same month. According to the filing, construction was scheduled to begin in September 2023 and finish in October 2024. Although the scheduled completion date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

HED is the design firm of record for this development. The project involves public funds and public land, consistent with the owner being Dallas College. The estimated cost of $2,400,000 is above the county median for new construction filings, while the $9 per square foot cost is below the county median of $125 per square foot.

Dallas College has one other TDLR-registered project, Brookhaven College in Farmers Branch, which is closed. HED, the design firm, has six other registered projects in the region, including Two Westway in Houston and Dfw45 in Garland. The project’s scheduled build window of 425 days is longer than the county median of 243 days for similar new construction filings.

The surrounding area, ZIP code 75235, has a population of about 19,067 and a median household income of $60,817 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 estimates. Housing in this area is predominantly renter-occupied. Dallas County’s unemployment rate was 3.3 percent in July 2026, which is higher than a year earlier. The project remains under TDLR review, with no final inspection recorded in the public records.
