📰About Caliche

Caliche is an 8,656-square-foot corporate office renovation located at 919 Milam St. Suite 2425 in Houston’s Central Business District. The project involved interior finish-out work within the existing structure, creating a functional workspace for private use. This specific build was registered with TDLR in January 2025, marking the start of the formal accessibility review process for the alteration.

The scope of work included the installation of individual offices, open office areas, workrooms, and a conference room. Additional spaces designated for general counsel, copy operations, breaks, and collaboration were also fitted out. A reception area was included in the layout to serve the building’s primary entry points. These elements combined to form a comprehensive corporate environment within the designated suite.

Cbre is the owner and developer of record for this project. The design firm of record is JZ Interior Design, which managed the aesthetic and functional planning for the interior. The estimated cost for the renovation was $230,000, which works out to $27 per square foot.

Construction was scheduled to begin in March 2025, with a planned completion date of June 2025. TDLR closed the project file in August 2026. This action marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The status of the project is now marked as closed in the official registry.
