Jucy's Hamburgers in Tyler, TX

Maxey Properties completed a new 4,105-square-foot ground-up restaurant at 8403 Declaration Rdg. in Tyler, Smith County. The privately funded project, registered with TDLR in March 2025, involved the construction of a new Jucy's Hamburgers location. The estimated cost for this build was $1,800,000, resulting in a cost of $438 per square foot. B. Russo Designs served as the design firm of record for the project.

The construction timeline began in April 2025, following the completion of plan review in March 2025. The filing indicated a scheduled completion date of October 2025. However, the final inspection for the project was not passed until March 2026. This delay extended the actual build window beyond the initially scheduled 183 days, which was close to the Smith County median of 214 days for similar new construction filings.

According to TDLR records, the registered accessibility specialist for this project was Darrell Glen Smith. The project was privately funded and located on private land for private use. The final inspection passed in March 2026, confirming the completion of the physical structure. TDLR closed the project file in August 2026, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.
