📰About Retail Shell Building
A new 7,020 sq ft retail building is slated for construction at 2825 Wilcrest Dr Suite 616 in Houston, Harris County. The project is registered with TDLR under the name Retail Shell Building, with an estimated cost of $800,000. This equates to a cost of $114 per square foot, a figure that sits above the Harris County median of $88 for similar new construction filings.
ZK Jester INC is the owner of record for this development. The design firm of record is TN Associates INC, and David M Dante serves as the registered accessibility specialist. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use. It is part of a portfolio of four other TDLR-registered projects by ZK Jester INC, which collectively total $8,847,225 in estimated value.
Construction Timeline and Status
TDLR completed plan review in March 2024. Construction was scheduled to begin in July 2025, with a completion date listed on the filing for July 2026. Although that 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 scheduled build window of 365 days is longer than the Harris County median of 219 days for comparable projects.
The surrounding area, ZIP code 77042, has a population of about 40,725 residents according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates. The median household income in this ZIP code is $57,745, and housing is predominantly renter-occupied. These demographic details provide context for the retail location but do not indicate the operational status of the building itself.
TN Associates INC has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $5,135,000. These include various retail and commercial structures in Houston, Frisco, and Richmond. The specific retail shell building in Weatherford, Texas, mentioned by Strategic Construction on their website, is a different project and should not be confused with this Houston filing.
