Project Scope and Parties

B9 Sequoia S1 Owner LP, acting by Link Logistics Real Estate Management LLC, served as the owner of record for this privately funded project on private land. Optimal Space Designs LLC was the design firm of record. Fred Dean Shinault was the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The scope was specifically defined as the renovation of tenant space, consistent with the building's use as a commercial office environment in Dallas County.

The construction timeline was scheduled to begin in March 2025, with a planned completion date of June 2025. However, the project passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in March 2025, indicating that the physical work was finished ahead of the originally scheduled end date. The TDLR status for this filing is now listed as Inspection Complete. This rapid completion reflects the specific scope of interior alterations rather than structural changes or new construction.
