📰About TRADER JOE'S
A 17,180 sq ft interior build-out for a Trader Joe's grocery store is registered for 600 Kingwood Drive in Kingwood, Texas. The project involves renovating an existing vacant building for retail use, with an estimated cost of $900,000. Dpeg Construction, LLC, is listed as the owner or developer of record, while KIP Klayton Architects serves as the design firm.
The filing specifies a construction start date of June 2025 and a target completion of December 2025. This scheduled build window spans 183 days, which is longer than the 92-day median for similar renovation filings in Harris County. The estimated cost places this project above the county median of $250,000 for its type, sitting in the top quarter of registered projects. However, the computed cost of $52 per square foot is below the county median of $80 per square foot for renovation and alteration work.
Registration and Status
The project was registered with TDLR in February 2025. Although the filing indicated a completion date of December 2025, no plan review or inspection has been recorded since registration. Therefore, whether the construction actually proceeded as scheduled is not confirmed in the public record. The status remains listed as Project Registered without evidence of final inspection or closure.
KIP Klayton Architects has six other TDLR-registered projects associated with Trader Joe's locations, including sites in Bee Cave, Coppell, Sugar Land, and Austin. These projects vary in cost, ranging from $75,000 to $1,000,000, with some showing inspection completion and others remaining in a registered state. The Kingwood project fits within this pattern of standardized retail build-outs managed by the same design firm across multiple Texas locations.
The site is located in the Kingwood area of Harris County, a region with a median household income of $84,015 and a median owner-occupied home value of $274,904, according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 estimates for ZIP 77339. Nearby established businesses include Carrabba's Italian Grill, Jason's Deli, and The Veranda Steak and Seafood. The addition of a grocery store to this commercial cluster aligns with the area's profile of mixed-use development and residential density, supporting the local labor market where the Harris County unemployment rate was 5 percent in August 2026.
