The Chosen- Soundstage 2

The Chosen- Soundstage 2 is a 30,705 sq ft single-story film production facility located at 8291 Baucum Road in Midlothian, Texas. This new construction project, valued at $10,000,000, includes restrooms and a parking lot designed to support a broader film campus in Ellis County. The facility was registered with TDLR in October 2023, marking the start of its accessibility review process.

Impossible Math, LLC is the owner of record for The Chosen- Soundstage 2. The design firm of record is GHLA, Inc, which has handled multiple other projects in the region, including the adjacent The Chosen-Executive Office Building. Attila Huszka served as the registered accessibility specialist during the construction phase. The project is privately funded on private land for private use, ensuring specific operational standards for the film industry.

Construction Scope and Cost

The estimated cost of $10,000,000 translates to $326 per square foot. This figure is above the county median of $148 per square foot for new construction filings in Ellis County. The total estimated cost also places this project in the top quarter of similar filings in the area, where the median estimated cost is $900,000. The scheduled build window was 195 days, which is close to the county median of 244 days for comparable new construction projects.

This geographic positioning helps mitigate specific environmental risks associated with large-scale commercial construction. The project was registered with TDLR in October 2023, and the construction start date aligned with this registration period. The completion date on the filing was April 2024, a date that has already passed.

Project Status and Completion

TDLR closed the project file in April 2024, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

This closure confirms the finalization of the accessibility compliance phase for the 30,705 sq ft facility.

The Chosen- Soundstage 2 stands as a significant addition to the Midlothian commercial landscape. With a median household income in the ZIP 76065 area estimated at $123,664, the region supports a robust economic base. The Ellis County unemployment rate was 4.5 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier, reflecting broader labor market trends. The completion of this soundstage contributes to the local infrastructure supporting the film production industry.
