Petsense by Tractor Supply in Orange, TX

An interior remodel of an existing 11,632 sq ft retail space at 2261 MacArthur Drive in Orange, Texas, is registered as a renovation project for Petsense by Tractor Supply. The filing, submitted by owner Phelan Investments, details the conversion of the site into a pet supply location. The estimated cost for this work is $450,000, which equates to $39 per square foot.

Saorsa Architecture serves as the design firm of record for this project. The TDLR registration was completed in October 2024, with plan review also finished in that month. Construction was scheduled to begin in October 2024 and conclude in December 2024, representing a planned build window of 56 days. This timeline is shorter than the county median of 108 days for similar renovation filings.

Project Context and Ownership

Phelan Investments has five other TDLR-registered projects totaling $1,175,000, including locations in Lumberton and Beaumont. Saorsa Architecture has registered five other projects totaling $3,200,000, including Tractor Supply Company locations in Perryton and Pasadena. The site is located within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, designated as zone AE.

The project is privately funded on private land for private use. The estimated cost is above the Orange County median of $250,000 for renovation and alteration filings. However, the cost per square foot is below the county median of $70. The median size for comparable projects in the county is 5,500 sq ft, making this 11,632 sq ft site significantly larger than the typical filing in this category.

TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled completion date of December 2024 has passed, but the public record remains in a review complete status without a final inspection entry. This distinction is important for anyone verifying the operational status of the new location.
