Houston Methodist Baytown Cath Labs 1 and 2 (Cath Lab 2)

The renovation of two catheterization labs at Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital is complete. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as "Houston Methodist Baytown Cath Labs 1 and 2 (Cath Lab 2)," involved the equipment replacement and refinishing of an existing space. The work covered approximately 1,168 square feet on the first floor of the hospital building located at 4401 Garth Road in Baytown.

San Jacinto Methodist Hospital is the owner of record for this renovation, which carried an estimated cost of $500,000. This figure translates to $428 per square foot, a rate that sits above the Harris County median of $80 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings. The scheduled build window for this project was 186 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for projects of this type. The work was privately funded on private land for private use.

PhiloWilke Partnership served as the design firm for the project, while Janel Carona Bloom was the registered accessibility specialist. The project was registered with TDLR in April 2025, and plan review was completed that same month. Construction began in April 2025, with an initial completion date scheduled for October 2025.
