DLA Piper Texas in Houston, TX

DLA Piper Texas is preparing a new office interior on the 38th floor of Texas Tower at 845 Texas Avenue in Houston's Central Business District. The project covers 23,000 square feet of high-rise space, including a multi-tenant corridor and elevator lobby. The estimated cost for this new construction work is $800,000.

The owner of record for this filing is Block 58 LLC, while PDR serves as the design firm. Jeromy G Murphy is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the project. The work is privately funded on private land for private use, situated in Harris County near established downtown institutions like the Wortham Theater Center and JW Marriott Houston Downtown.

Project Timeline and Status

TDLR completed the plan review for this project in March 2025. Construction was scheduled to begin in April 2025 with a planned completion date of December 2025. Although this scheduled date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current physical state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the project remains in a pending status regarding final verification.

At $35 per square foot, the estimated cost is below the Harris County median of $88 per square foot for similar new construction filings. The project's estimated cost of $800,000 is close to the county median of $750,000. The scheduled build window of 231 days is also close to the county median of 221 days, indicating a timeline consistent with typical high-rise interior fit-outs in the area.

Block 58 LLC has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $21,700,000, several of which are located in Texas Tower. PDR, the design firm, has worked on six other projects totaling $12,600,000, including buildings in Houston and San Antonio. City of Houston permit records show four permits on file at this street address issued between February 2026 and April 2026, including a high-rise office buildout and staircase remodel.
