COP Room Expansion in Northlake, TX

Tree House Foods completed a 300-square-foot renovation at 1921 Farmer Brothers Drive in Northlake, Texas. The project, registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in November 2024, involved the construction of a new Equipment Cleaning Room with dedicated chemical storage. The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in July 2025, confirming that the construction work described in the filing is finished.

The scope of work was specific: adding a controlled environment for cleaning equipment and storing chemicals safely. This addition expanded the functional footprint of the existing facility without altering the primary production or storage areas. The estimated cost for this renovation was $75,000, which equates to $250 per square foot.

Treehouse Foods, the owner of record, engaged The Dennis Group as the design firm for this project. Michael J Love served as the registered accessibility specialist. The project was privately funded on private land for private use. Construction began in January 2025, and the scheduled completion date of July 2025 aligns with the final inspection status.

Project Context and Comparisons

This renovation is part of a broader presence for Treehouse Foods in Northlake. The company has one other TDLR-registered project in the area, the Farmer Brothers facility, which totaled $652,802 and is also marked as inspection complete. In contrast, this specific COP Room Expansion is a smaller, targeted improvement with a cost below the median for similar renovation and alteration filings in Denton County.

According to TDLR data, the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration projects in Denton County is $235,000. This project’s $75,000 cost places it in the bottom quarter of that range. While the $250 per square foot cost is above the county median of $80, the total investment is modest compared to larger industrial expansions in the region. The scheduled build window of 205 days was longer than the county median of 92 days for similar filings.

Treehouse Foods operates a Coffee Center of Excellence in Northlake, as noted on its corporate website. The company announced in June 2023 its acquisition of Farmer Brothers' Northlake coffee facility. This renovation supports the operational infrastructure of that facility, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards and safety protocols for chemical handling and equipment maintenance.
