Pierce Skrabanek Expansion in Houston, TX

Project Overview and Scope

The Weslayan Tower renovation in Houston involved a second-generation buildout to expand an existing tenant suite on a multi-tenant floor of a high-rise building. Located at 24 Greenway, Suite 500, the project covered 2,028 square feet with an estimated cost of $170,000. This work was classified as a renovation and alteration, focusing on updating interior spaces within the existing structure rather than adding new exterior construction.

Granite Weslayan Properties, Ltd. served as the owner of record for this development. The design was handled by Tramonte Design Studio, a firm with a portfolio of other commercial projects in the region. William T. Winning was the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project was privately funded and conducted on private land for private use, distinguishing it from public infrastructure projects.

Timeline and Regulatory Status

The project registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in January 2025. Plan review was completed in the same month, allowing construction to begin in February 2025. The filing indicated a scheduled completion date of April 2025. However, the final inspection was passed in February 2026, indicating a longer actual construction window than initially estimated. TDLR closed the project file in May 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

This project's estimated cost is below the Harris County median of $250,000 for similar renovation filings. The cost per square foot was $84, which is close to the county median of $80. The scheduled build window of 74 days was also close to the county median of 92 days. These figures place the Weslayan Tower expansion within the typical range for commercial renovations in the area, despite the final inspection occurring later than the original filing date suggested.

City of Houston permit records show six permits on file at this street address, issued between March 2026 and July 2026. These permits include work for interior demolition, office remodels, and bathroom renovations. The presence of these permits aligns with the scope of the renovation described in the TDLR filing, confirming active construction activity at the address during the period following the initial registration.
