Project Status and Timeline

The project was registered with TDLR in November 2023, with plan review completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in January 2024, with a planned completion date of June 2024. Although that scheduled end date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use.

The private nature of the funding and land use indicates a focused business development rather than a public or mixed-use initiative. The registration details confirm the project’s compliance with state building standards through the TDLR process.
