Project Scope and Scale

This renovation/alteration project is significantly larger than the typical construction filing in the area. Among 32,423 registered renovation and alteration filings in Dallas County, the median estimated cost is $248,360 and the median size is 4,228 square feet. This project’s cost sits in the top quarter of that range, while its size far exceeds the median footprint. The estimated cost per square foot is $8, which is below the county median of $72 per square foot for similar work.

The scheduled build window for this project is 546 days, a duration longer than the 92-day median build window for comparable projects in Dallas County. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in August 2023, with plan review completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in December 2023, with a completion date listed as May 2025.

Bush Architects has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $65,300,000, including the Rainy Creek project in Abilene and the Glen Rose Condominiums. Centurion American Development Group has one other registered project, the Statler Garage in Dallas, valued at $5,000,000. The site is located in ZIP code 75230, an area with a median household income of $109,864 and a median owner-occupied home value of $870,000, according to U.S. Census American Community Survey estimates.

Local coverage from The Business Journals reported the project start date as December 1, 2023, consistent with the TDLR filing. Although the scheduled completion date has passed, the TDLR record has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the status of the construction remains unverified by the regulatory body.
