May Food

May Food is constructing a new 67,682 square foot tilt wall facility at 10510 Stancliff Rd in the Alief area of Houston, Harris County. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, involves a private development by Sngmdq, LLC with an estimated cost of $10,500,000. The scope includes cold storage, food produce distribution, and office administration spaces, all situated on private land.

Gensler serves as the design firm of record for this build, which registered with the state in May 2024. Construction was scheduled to begin in June 2024 with a planned completion date of June 2025. Although that date has passed, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has not yet recorded a final inspection, meaning the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

Project Scale and Cost

The estimated cost of $10,500,000 places this project above the Harris County median for new construction filings. The facility’s size of 67,682 square feet is also significantly larger than the county median of 8,990 square feet. At a computed cost of $155 per square foot, the project exceeds the county median of $88 per square foot, reflecting the specialized requirements of a distribution center with cold storage capabilities.

The site is located in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, designated as zone AE. This classification indicates a higher risk of flooding, which may influence site improvements and infrastructure decisions for the new facility. The area is part of the 77099 ZIP code, where Census estimates indicate a median household income of $48,735 and a housing stock that is mostly renter-occupied.

Jeromy G Murphy is the registered accessibility specialist for the project. The filing notes that the work includes site improvements alongside the main building structure. While the TDLR status is marked as Review Complete, the lack of a final inspection record prevents confirmation of whether the building is fully completed and ready for use.
