Church on the Rock in Bellmead, TX

Church on the Rock filed a project with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to add 1,480 square feet of lobby space and a 1,785 square foot patio to its existing campus at 1201 Air Base Rd in Bellmead. The estimated cost for these additions is $1,500,000, which works out to $1,014 per square foot. This investment is significantly above the median estimated cost of $400,000 for similar additions in McLennan County, placing the project in the top quarter of local filings for this type of work.

The design firm of record is Architecture Underground Inc., which is also responsible for other projects in Texas, including a $2,000,000 development in Fort Worth and an $800,000 project in Luling. Kenneth Otten is the registered accessibility specialist for this filing. The project is privately funded on private land for private use, distinct from the public or institutional projects often seen in the area.

Construction was scheduled to begin in February 2025 with a planned completion date of February 2026. This 365-day build window is longer than the median scheduled build window of 183 days for comparable projects in the county.

Church on the Rock has two other TDLR-registered projects totaling $5,200,000. One is a $3,900,000 project in Texarkana that is closed, and the other is a $1,300,000 project in Lubbock with review complete. The local area includes other registered projects such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Training Center and the Utec/Utem HQ, both new construction projects.

TDLR completed plan review in January 2025 and construction was scheduled to finish in February 2026; TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project status is listed as Review Complete, but the lack of a final inspection record means the physical completion of the lobby and patio additions remains unverified in the official database.
