COSTCO FLEET RESTROOM REMODEL in Arlington, TX

Costco Wholesale Corporation filed a renovation project for its Arlington facility, identified in the public record as Warehouse #668. The specific scope, titled "COSTCO FLEET RESTROOM REMODEL - Arlington," involves a 105 sq ft interior alteration at 600 W ARBROOK BLVD in East Arlington. The work is strictly for employee use, specifically to provide exterior access for fleet delivery drivers during after-hours. No public access is permitted, and the overall use of the building remains unchanged.

Scope and Design

The project is a privately funded renovation on private land. Ware Malcomb serves as the design firm of record, with David C Deming registered as the accessibility specialist. The estimated cost for this 105 sq ft remodel is $85,000, which computes to $810 per square foot. This cost per square foot is above the Tarrant County median of $79 for similar renovation filings, though the total project cost sits in the bottom quarter of the county median of $250,000. The filing notes that the interior access to the restroom will be removed to facilitate the new exterior entry point for fleet operations.

Construction was scheduled to begin in October 2024, following a September 2024 plan review completion. The filing indicated a completion date of November 2025. While that scheduled date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The TDLR status remains "Review Complete," reflecting the approval of the plans rather than the physical completion of the work.

Costco Wholesale Corporation has six other TDLR-registered projects across Texas, with a combined value of $3,770,000. These include locations in Georgetown, San Antonio, Pflugerville, and Prosper. Ware Malcomb, the design firm for this Arlington project, has been involved in six other registered projects totaling over $55 million, including developments in Plano and Coppell. This Arlington project is one of several registered in the immediate area, which also includes new construction for the Arlington Business Center and renovations for EOS Fitness.

The site is located in ZIP code 76014, a Tarrant County area with a population of about 32,987 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 estimates. The median household income in this area is $63,196, and the median owner-occupied home value is $217,600. Nearby businesses include Studio Movie Grill and several medical practices. The project is part of a broader pattern of commercial renovations in East Arlington, where logistics and retail infrastructure continue to evolve.
