This privately funded project in Wilson County has an estimated cost of $1,300,000, translating to a cost efficiency of $72 per square foot.

Project Status and Timeline

The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in November 2024, with plan review completed in the same month. According to the filing, construction was scheduled to begin in February 2025, with a target completion date of February 2026. Although this scheduled finish date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current physical state of the site and the operational status of the facility are not confirmed in the public record.

The design firm of record is Kerry Andrews Architect, who has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $4,450,000 across various locations in Texas. These include projects in Bulverde, San Antonio, Floresville, and Seguin, with statuses ranging from review complete to project closed. The registered accessibility specialist for this specific build is Attila Huszka. The project is located on private land for private use, reflecting a standard commercial development model in the region.

Contextual data from 126 TDLR-registered new construction filings in Wilson County indicates that this project’s estimated cost of $1,300,000 is above the county median of $800,000. It falls within the top quarter of costs for this project type. In contrast, the scheduled build window of 365 days is longer than the county median of 213 days. The cost per square foot of $72 is notably below the county median of $147, suggesting a cost-effective construction approach for the specified scope of work.
