This filing was registered with TDLR in February 2025, establishing the public record for this specific development.

The estimated cost per square foot is $384, a figure that is above the county median of $152 for similar new construction filings in Anderson County. The scheduled build window of 245 days is close to the county median of 213 days.

Project Status and Timeline

TDLR completed plan review in February 2025, and construction was scheduled to finish in January 2026. However, the public record has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The TDLR status is listed as Review Complete, but this refers to the initial plan approval rather than the final completion of the physical structure.

The surrounding area includes existing businesses such as an Exxon gas station, Hampton Village, and several churches. The ZIP code 75803 has a population of about 21,390 and a median household income of $59,947, according to U.S. Census estimates.

G2 Design Studio has one other TDLR-registered project in the state, a fried chicken restaurant in Burleson. This Palestine project is privately funded and built on private land for private use. The registration details provide a transparent view of the construction parameters, including the size, cost, and professional roles involved in the development.
