Gulf Bend Center Second & Third Floor Renovation in Victoria, TX

The Gulf Bend Center Second & Third Floor Renovation at 6502 Nursery Dr in Victoria, Texas, is complete. The project involved the partial renovation of an existing building spanning 18,692 sq ft, with an estimated cost of $700,000. This work was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in November 2024, marking the start of the formal accessibility review process for the alteration.

RMA Architects served as the design firm of record for this project, which falls under the category of renovation and alteration. The owner of record is Gulf Bend Center, an entity that also holds a previous TDLR-registered project, the Gulf Bend Regional Plaza, which closed with an estimated cost of $2,800,000. The inclusion of public funds or land in this filing indicates a level of oversight distinct from purely private developments in Victoria County.

The scheduled build window for this renovation was 365 days, which is longer than the county median of 121 days for similar renovation and alteration filings. While the total estimated cost of $700,000 places the project above the county median of $250,000 for its type, the cost per square foot of $37 is below the county median of $86 per square foot. These figures suggest a renovation focused on significant spatial updates rather than high-intensity material costs relative to the building's size.

Timothy D Westphal was the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The construction start date listed in the records was January 2025, with a completion date of January 2026. The final inspection passed in January 2026, confirming that the physical work aligned with the approved plans for the second and third floors.

TDLR closed the project file in January 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This status indicates that the regulatory requirements for the renovation have been satisfied and the file is no longer active. The completion of this specific renovation adds to the local construction history in Victoria, a city with a median household income of $86,821 according to U.S. Census estimates for the 77904 ZIP code.
