ExxonMobil Colonial Tank Farm Hebert Field Tech Office in Beaumont, TX

Colonial Pipeline CO is building a new 4,000 sq ft office structure at 14713 West Port Arthur Road in Beaumont. The project, filed under the name ExxonMobil Colonial Tank Farm Hebert Field Tech Office, involves the new construction of a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) for office use. The estimated cost of the project is $2,000,000, which works out to $500 per square foot.

Ware Malcomb serves as the design firm of record for this development. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use. It is situated in Jefferson County, within ZIP code 77705. According to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates, this ZIP code has a population of about 37,988 residents and a median household income of $49,964. The area is characterized by mostly owner-occupied housing, with a median owner-occupied home value of $121,900.

Construction Timeline and Status

The project was registered with TDLR in January 2024, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in March 2024, with a target completion date of December 2024. Although this 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. The status remains Review Complete, indicating that the regulatory paperwork is finished, but physical completion is not verified by a final inspection log.

In comparison to other new construction filings in Jefferson County, this project’s cost is above the county median of $750,000 for 800 registered projects. The scheduled build window of 302 days is close to the county median of 242 days. However, the $500 per square foot cost is above the county median of $147 per square foot. This suggests a higher specification or cost basis for this specific office structure compared to the average new construction project in the region.

Ware Malcomb has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $12,570,000 across Texas. These include projects in Fort Worth, Plano, Del Valle, Flower Mound, and Dallas. The Colonial Tank Farm office building fits within this pattern of industrial and commercial office developments handled by the firm. The Jefferson County unemployment rate was 5 percent in July 2026, according to FRED data.
