Costco Fleet Restroom Remodel in Fort Worth, TX

Warehouse #489, filed as the Costco Fleet Restroom Remodel in Fort Worth, is a 105 square foot renovation at 5300 Overton Ridge Blvd. The project involves altering an existing interior restroom used exclusively by employees to remove interior access and provide exterior access for fleet delivery drivers during after-hours. The filing specifies that the space is not for public use, there is no change in building use, and no additional site work is planned. The estimated cost for this scope is $85,000, which equates to $810 per square foot.

Costco Wholesale is the owner of record, with Ware Malcomb serving as the registered design firm. David C Deming is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project was registered with TDLR in September 2024, with a scheduled construction start in October 2024 and a target completion date of November 2025. This timeline represents a scheduled build window of 395 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for similar renovation and alteration projects in Tarrant County.

Financially, the $85,000 estimated cost places this project below the county median of $250,000 for renovation and alteration filings, sitting in the bottom quarter of comparable projects. However, the cost per square foot of $810 is above the county median of $79 per square foot. This high per-square-foot cost is typical for small-scale interior alterations where fixed costs dominate, unlike larger projects where costs are spread across more area. The project is privately funded on private land for private use.

Project Status and Records

The TDLR status for Warehouse #489 is listed as Project Registered. Although the target completion date of November 2025 has passed, no plan review or inspection has been recorded since registration. Therefore, whether the construction proceeded as scheduled is not confirmed in the public record. The absence of recorded inspections means the final physical state of the restroom modification is not verified by state accessibility records.

In the broader context of Fort Worth construction, this address is associated with other commercial activity. City of Fort Worth permit records show eight permits on file at this street address issued between February 2025 and June 2026. These include commercial building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits with total declared valuations of $988,500. The most recent permit at this address involves building a cinder block divider wall in a tire shop, indicating ongoing commercial modifications at the site beyond the specific restroom project described in the TDLR filing.

Costco Wholesale has six other TDLR-registered projects in Texas, totaling $2,214,499. Ware Malcomb, the design firm, is associated with six other registered projects totaling over $50 million. While these figures indicate active construction portfolios for both parties, they do not confirm the completion status of the Fort Worth restroom remodel. The public record remains limited to the initial registration details and the lack of subsequent inspection data.
