Rapp & Krock in Houston, TX

Two Post Oak Central is a 10,126 sq ft renovation and alteration project located at 1980 Post Oak Blvd, Suite 120, in the Greater Uptown area of Houston. The work involves the renovation of existing spaces with selective demolition and construction, along with an expansion into a vacant suite. The project is registered under the name Rapp & Krock, with Parkway listed as the owner of record and Inventure as the design firm.

The estimated cost for this privately funded project is $250,000, which computes to $25 per square foot. TDLR completed plan review in October 2024, and construction was scheduled to begin in the same month with a target completion date of January 2025. Although that scheduled end date has passed, the TDLR record has not yet recorded a final inspection, meaning the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

Project Context and Comparisons

Compared to 39,248 other renovation and alteration filings in Harris County, this project’s estimated cost is close to the county median of $250,000. The scheduled build window of 84 days is also close to the county median of 92 days. However, the $25 per square foot cost is below the county median of $80 per square foot, indicating a different cost structure relative to typical local projects of this type.

Parkway, the owner of record, has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $4,502,000, including Central Park Two in Houston and Century Square in College Station. Inventure, the design firm, has been involved in six other registered projects totaling $7,671,667, such as City North and 910 Louisiana in Houston. These records show that both the owner and the design firm are active in the Texas construction market, with a mix of completed and ongoing projects.

The project is situated in ZIP code 77056, a U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimate area with a population of about 23,314 and a median household income of $101,932. The area is characterized by a high median owner-occupied home value of $807,300 and is mostly renter-occupied. Nearby businesses include Kenny & Ziggy's New York Delicatessen, Maggiano's Little Italy, and several lodging and retail options, placing the project in a commercially active district.

City of Houston permit records show 10 permits on file at this street address, issued between January 2026 and August 2026. These permits are for building work, including interior demolition and restroom remodels, though they may relate to other tenants or suites at the same address rather than this specific project. The presence of multiple permits suggests ongoing construction activity in the building complex.
