Project Scope and Construction Details

Registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in January 2025, this new construction project has an estimated cost of $13,338,211.

Huitt-Zollars, Inc. serves as the design firm of record for the project, which was scheduled to begin construction in June 2025. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Charlene L Wilson.

The project timeline indicates a scheduled completion date of April 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

The scheduled build window of 333 days is longer than the county median of 212 days for projects in this category.
