Eagle Labs Addition in Bridgeport, TX

Eagle Labs, Inc. completed a 3,100-square-foot addition to its existing facility at 503-A 1st Street in Bridgeport, Wise County. The project, filed as the Eagle Labs Addition, passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in January 2025, confirming that construction is complete. The structure consists of a concrete slab supporting a metal building designed specifically for the storage of water treatment chemicals, including drums, totes, and storage tanks.

The project was privately funded by Hodel Investments LLC, the owner of record, on private land for private use. Gustin-Herron Architecture PPLC served as the design firm, while Connie Fleming was the registered accessibility specialist. The estimated cost for this addition was $180,000, which calculates to $58 per square foot. This cost is below the median estimated cost of $427,500 for similar additions to existing buildings in Wise County, and the $58 per square foot is below the county median of $124 per square foot.

Construction activity was scheduled to begin in February 2025, with a completion date of May 2025. However, the record indicates that the final inspection occurred in January 2025, establishing that the build window was shorter than the county median of 182 days. The project size of 3,100 square feet is slightly below the county median of 4,019 square feet for this type of work.

The addition serves the operational needs of Eagle Labs, Inc., which is listed in NSF product and service listings as a facility in Bridgeport associated with aluminum sulfate. The construction record confirms the physical expansion of the site to accommodate specific storage requirements for chemical products. The project is one of 38 TDLR-registered additions to existing buildings in Wise County, with only three such registrations in the last 24 months.
