Pearland, TX - Bakery Refresh

Costco Wholesale completed a bakery refresh at its Pearland location, a renovation project that TDLR closed the project file for in April 2026. The work took place at 3500 Business Center Drive in Brazoria County and involved a 3,470 sq ft area of the facility. This specific filing, registered in February 2025, details a focused update to the store's baking equipment and interior finishes rather than a full structural expansion.

The scope of work was precise and equipment-heavy. Contractors replaced two existing ovens and one proof box, while installing one new oven. The project also required the reinstallation of all affected equipment, the replacement of ceiling tiles and lighting fixtures, and a comprehensive renovation of wall and floor finishes. These updates were executed within a nine-day scheduled build window, which is shorter than the 95-day median for similar renovation filings in the county.

Costco Wholesale Corporation is the owner of record, and MG2 Architecture Corporation served as the design firm. Justin K Walton was the registered accessibility specialist for the project. The estimated cost for this renovation was $170,000, resulting in a cost per square foot of $49. This figure is below the $90 per square foot median for renovation and alteration projects in Brazoria County, indicating an efficient allocation of resources for this specific scope of work.

The project timeline was rapid. Construction was scheduled to start in May 2025, with the same month listed for completion. The final inspection passed in February 2025, preceding the official closure of the TDLR file in April 2026. This sequence confirms that the accessibility review process concluded successfully, marking the end of the regulatory oversight for this construction phase.

Costco has a significant presence in Texas, with six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $3,770,000, including locations in Georgetown, San Antonio, Pflugerville, and Prosper. MG2 Architecture Corporation also designed five other Costco projects, including fuel facilities in Richmond, Lubbock, and The Woodlands. This Pearland bakery refresh fits within a broader pattern of facility updates across the retailer's Texas portfolio, focusing on operational efficiency and customer-facing amenities.
