Project Scope and Specifications
The scope of work involves demolition, underground utilities, sidewalks, and the construction of the indoor pool facility. The project spans 12,000 square feet, resulting in a computed cost of $1,000 per square foot. This figure is above the Harris County median of $88 per square foot for similar new construction filings. The scheduled build window of 427 days is longer than the county median of 223 days.
Public records indicate that the City of Houston has two building permits on file at this street address, issued between March 2026 and July 2026. These permits suggest significant structural work beyond the initial 12,000 square feet listed in the TDLR filing, potentially reflecting the full footprint of the aquatic center.

These include Anderson Park and Memorial Park, both located in Houston.
