Midlothian Building #1 is a new construction project located at 4521 North U.S. Highway 67, Suite 400, in Midlothian, Ellis County. The filing describes a first-generation office build-out within an existing cold-shell warehouse, encompassing 1,865 square feet of new millwork and restrooms. The registered accessibility specialist for this TDLR project is Fred Dean Shinault, and the design firm of record is Ware Malcomb.

The estimated cost for this build-out is $400,000, resulting in a computed cost of $214 per square foot. This figure is above the median of $148 per square foot for new construction projects in Ellis County. The scheduled build window was 75 days, which is shorter than the county median of 244 days.

Project Status and Timeline

TDLR completed plan review in March 2025, and the construction start date per the filing was April 2025. The completion date listed on the filing was June 2025. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project status is marked as Review Complete, but the lack of a final inspection means the physical completion of the work is not verified in the accessibility database.

This geographic detail is relevant for understanding the site's risk profile, though it does not impact the construction scope described in the filing. The project is part of a broader development context in Midlothian, where other registered projects include the 2026 Midlothian Sidewalks Programs Phase 1 and 67 Flex, indicating ongoing commercial and infrastructure activity in the area.

Ware Malcomb, the design firm, has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $51,188,544, including locations in Plano, Wylie, and Fort Worth. Velocis Midlothian JV, LP has one other registered project, Midlothian Building #1, which is noted as closed in the records. The specific scope of this project focuses on converting industrial space into a functional office environment, a common trend in mid-sized Texas cities seeking to repurpose existing structures for professional use.
