Iris - Childress Data Center

Office Building Construction Details

An Office Building stands at 620 FM 1033 in Childress, Texas, registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in August 2024. The filing also identifies the project as Iris - Childress Data Center. This ground-up construction features a 14,964 sq ft one-story pre-engineered metal building designed for Group B occupancy. The intended use includes office, professional, or service-type transactions, along with the storage of records and accounts.

IE US Development Holdings 3 Inc. is the owner and developer of record, while MBA Energy & Industrial served as the design firm. Kam-hung Kenneth Woo acted as the registered accessibility specialist to ensure compliance with state standards. The total estimated cost for the project is $3,863,400, which calculates to $258 per square foot. This figure is below the county median of $422 per sq ft for new construction in Childress County.

Construction began in October 2024, with a scheduled completion date of April 2025. The build window of 211 days aligns closely with the county median of 213 days. The project is privately funded on private land for private use. The design firm, MBA Energy & Industrial, has a portfolio of six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $11,355,801, including solar operations and maintenance buildings in Edinburg, Edna, and Tulia.

The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in April 2025, so construction is complete. The TDLR status is now recorded as Inspection Complete. While the construction phase has concluded, the record does not indicate whether the facility has begun commercial operations or if the business is serving customers. The project represents a significant investment in the local commercial infrastructure.
