Irving Poker Club

The renovation of the Irving Poker Club, located at 1800 Valley View Lane Suite #164 in Irving, Texas, has concluded its regulatory review. This 7,497-square-foot interior remodel was executed within the Lakeside Shopping Center in Dallas County. The project involved a comprehensive update to the interior systems, specifically new plumbing, electrical, and mechanical infrastructure, to support the leased space.

Albert Mokhtar and David Mokhtar are the owners of record for this privately funded project. Eminence Design Build LLC served as the design firm of record, overseeing the construction process. The estimated cost for the work was $350,000, which computes to $47 per square foot. This figure is below the county median of $72 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings in Dallas County, though the total cost sits above the median estimated cost of $248,430 for this project type.

The construction window aligned closely with regional standards, with a scheduled build period of 92 days, matching the county median for similar projects. The work began in October 2024, coinciding with the project's registration with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. James J Heilman was the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing.

TDLR closed the project file in January 2025, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

The site is situated in ZIP code 76051, an area with a population of approximately 50,514 people. The median household income in this census area is estimated at $111,193. Eminence Design Build LLC has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects, totaling over $1.7 million in value, across locations in Fort Worth, Southlake, Frisco, and Waxahachie.

For those researching local construction activity, this project represents a standard commercial interior remodel in a busy shopping center. The specific scope of work focused on utility upgrades rather than structural changes, ensuring the space meets current building codes for its intended use as a poker club.
