Proposed Do-Nut Shop

Shipley Do-Nuts is building a new 2,012-square-foot shop at 7817 FM 521 Rd., Suite B, in Rosharon, Texas. The project, registered with TDLR as a Proposed Do-Nut Shop, involves a new interior build-out to convert the space into a full-service donut and kolache location. Breaktime Donuts LLC is the owner of record, and The Interfield Group serves as the design firm.

The estimated construction cost for this privately funded project is $72,227, which calculates to approximately $36 per square foot. This figure is below the median cost per square foot for new construction filings in Fort Bend County. The scheduled build window was 152 days, a duration close to the county median of 202 days for similar projects.

TDLR completed plan review in August 2023, and the filing indicated construction was scheduled to finish in March 2024. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

Breaktime Donuts LLC has six other TDLR-registered projects in Texas, including locations in Houston, Pasadena, Burleson, and San Antonio. The Interfield Group, the design firm for this Rosharon project, has worked on other commercial builds in the region, including specialty coffee shops and healthcare facilities. Local coverage from communityimpact.com reported that Shipley Do-Nuts celebrated a grand opening in Rosharon, while the company's website lists the address as 7817 FM 521 Rd.

Project Context

The site is part of a larger development area in Rosharon, which has a population of approximately 47,646 according to U.S. Census estimates. The median household income in the 77583 ZIP code is $107,510. This new construction project fits within a pattern of commercial development in Fort Bend County, where the median estimated cost for new construction is $700,000. This specific project is significantly smaller in scale and cost than the county median, reflecting a focused single-tenant build-out rather than a large multi-unit complex.

Fort Bend County’s unemployment rate was 5 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. The project’s private funding and specific scope indicate a targeted expansion for the Shipley Do-Nuts brand. While the filing shows a completion date of March 2024, the lack of a final inspection record means the public TDLR database does not yet verify the physical completion of the interior build-out.
