F153 Server Room in Richardson, TX

Collins Renner Rd. is the name of a project filing for a renovation at 3200 East Renner Rd. in Richardson. Collins Aerospace is converting 842 sq ft of existing office and lab space into a server room. The TDLR filing, identified as F153 Server Room, lists the renovation/alteration work with an estimated cost of $200,000. Plan review was completed in October 2024, and the scheduled construction window was 95 days, ending in January 2025. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use. The design firm of record is MJMc Architects. The scope of work is specific: a renovation of existing office/lab space into a server room. This is not new construction but an alteration of a built structure. The $238 per square foot cost is above the Dallas County median of $73 for similar renovation/alteration filings, reflecting the specialized nature of server room infrastructure compared to general office renovations.

The location is in ZIP code 75234, where the U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates report a population of about 32,998 and a median household income of $86,585. The area has 13,775 housing units with an even mix of owner- and renter-occupied homes. The median owner-occupied home value is $314,300. Dallas County unemployment was 3 percent in August 2026, lower than a year earlier. The project’s 95-day build window is close to the county median of 92 days for renovation/alteration work, suggesting a standard timeline for this scope.

The TDLR status is Review Complete, but the absence of a final inspection record means the project’s physical completion is not verified in the public database. Readers should note that construction status and business opening are distinct; the record only confirms the filing and review process, not operational status. The $200,000 estimated cost is below the Dallas County median of $250,000 for this project type, placing it in the lower half of costs for similar filings in the county.
