Houston Trade Center Food Vendors

The Houston Trade Center Food Vendors project is a $150,000 interior renovation located at 100 Sharpstown Mall in Houston, Texas. This specific filing covers the build-out of six fast-food kitchen vendors within an existing mall cafeteria area. The scope includes walk-up order counters and shared common seating for patrons, while restrooms remain in the mall’s public zones. The total square footage for this phase is 3,550 sq ft, resulting in an estimated cost of $42 per square foot.

Matthew Huynh is listed as the owner and developer of record for this privately funded work on private land. Phase Studio Architecture serves as the design firm of record. The project was registered with TDLR in August 2024, with a scheduled construction start in September 2024 and a target completion date of November 2024. That completion date has passed, yet no plan review or inspection has been recorded in the public file. Consequently, the official status remains Project Registered, and it is not confirmed in the record whether the work proceeded or finished.

In the context of Harris County, this renovation is smaller and less expensive than the median for similar filings. Among 38,913 registered renovation and alteration projects in the county, the median estimated cost is $250,000 and the median size is 4,000 sq ft. This project’s $150,000 cost is below that median, and its $42 per square foot rate is below the county median of $80. The scheduled build window of 70 days is close to the county median of 92 days.

City of Houston permit records show three building permits on file at this street address, all issued between June 2026 and June 2026.
