LANDMARK VENUS EVENT CENTER

The Landmark Venus Event Center at 307 S Walnut St in Venus, Texas, is an 8,020 sq ft renovation project filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Champion Properties serves as the owner of record, while Bear Design Build is the design firm of record. The scope of work is defined as an interior finish out, with an estimated cost of $400,000.

This project is privately funded on private land for private use. It was registered with TDLR in January 2024, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in April 2024, with a completion date listed on the filing as September 2024. That date has passed, but TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
