The owner of record is Victory at Hickory Creek, LLC, and the design firm of record is Lasky Architect, PA. Ernesto Sarabia is the registered accessibility specialist associated with this project. The project was registered with TDLR in February 2025 with a target completion date of June 2025.

Construction Status and Record

Although the target completion date of June 2025 has passed, the public record does not confirm final completion. No plan review or inspection has been recorded since the initial registration. Therefore, whether the project proceeded to completion as scheduled is not confirmed in the TDLR database. The status remains Project Registered. The scheduled build window of 135 days is shorter than the Denton County median of 219 days for similar new construction filings.

In terms of cost, the $300,000 estimate is below the county median of $900,000 for new construction projects. However, the $171 per square foot cost is above the county median of $121 per square foot. Lasky Architect, PA has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $2,375,000, including locations in Waco, Fort Worth, Houston, and Katy. Some of these projects are marked as review complete or closed, while others remain registered.
