Rivian DCFC Adventure Network in Waco, TX

Rivian filed a TDLR registration for a $200,000 renovation at 1821 S Valley Mills Drive, Suite EV in Waco, specifically for the Rivian DCFC Adventure Network. The project involves electrical infrastructure upgrades within a 1,600 sq ft space in the Alta Vista neighborhood. GPD Group, Professional Corporation serves as the design firm of record for this privately funded work on private land.

Project Scope and Cost

The filing lists the scope of work strictly as electrical infrastructure. The estimated cost of $200,000 translates to $125 per square foot. This per-square-foot cost is above the McLennan County median of $96 for similar renovation and alteration filings. However, the total project cost is below the county median of $279,286. The scheduled build window was 53 days, which is shorter than the county median of 122 days for this type of work.

Construction was scheduled to begin in June 2025 with a completion date of July 2025. TDLR completed plan review in March 2025. Although the scheduled completion date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
