📰About Eritrean Church Services Building

The Eritrean Church Services Building is a 12,600-square-foot new construction project located at 11714 Dover Street in the Brays Oaks neighborhood of Houston. This facility is being built for the Eritrean Tewahedo Orthodox Church of Christ to serve as a new service building for its existing congregation. The project is privately funded and situated on private land for private use.

LD4 Design Company, LLC is the registered design firm of record for this build. Courtney Lawren Chapman serves as the registered accessibility specialist. The estimated cost for the project is $200,000, which calculates to $16 per square foot. This figure is below the Harris County median of $88 per square foot for new construction filings. The total estimated cost is also below the county median of $750,000, placing it in the bottom quarter of recent filings in the area.

TDLR completed plan review in November 2024, and construction was scheduled to begin in January 2025. The filing indicated a completion date of November 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 scheduled build window of 304 days is longer than the county median of 219 days for similar projects.

The site is located in a FEMA moderate-risk area, designated as zone X, which carries a 0.2 percent annual-chance flood hazard. This classification is based on the site coordinates relative to the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. The surrounding area includes several commercial and residential businesses, such as Extra Space Storage and Planet Tire Shop, though this project remains distinct as a religious service facility.

LD4 Design Company, LLC has six other TDLR-registered projects in the state, totaling over $24 million. These include healthcare facilities in Beeville, Humble, and San Antonio. The presence of other registered projects in the Brays Oaks area, such as the BW8 & Beamer Distribution Center, indicates ongoing development activity in Harris County. The project status remains Review Complete, but the absence of a final inspection record means the physical completion of the building is not verified in the public database.
