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

Design and Scope Details

Design Forum Architects, Inc. was the design firm of record, responsible for the architectural plans for this alteration. The scope of work was specifically defined in the filing as the renovation of the existing Starbucks location. This included structural adjustments such as minor wall framing, along with interior updates to casework and general finishes. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems were also part of the work scope to ensure the renovated space met current standards.

The project cost of $250,000 aligns with the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration filings in Gregg County, which is also $250,000. While the median size for similar projects in the county is 4,725 sq ft, this specific project was smaller at 2,230 sq ft. The cost per square foot of $112 is above the county median of $71, reflecting the specific nature of the interior alterations and finish work involved.
