Landlord Work Space 7160 & 5240 in Houston, TX

Simon Property Group, Inc. completed a $360,000 renovation of 16,953 sq ft at The Galleria in Houston, Texas. The work involved re-demising existing two-story space into shell spaces 7160 Level 2 and #5240 Level 1 at 5135 West Alabama Rd. This project is part of a broader portfolio of accessibility-compliant renovations managed by the developer across the state.

The construction scope was classified as a Renovation/Alteration with an estimated cost of $360,000. This figure places the project above the Harris County median estimated cost of $250,000 for similar filings. However, the cost per square foot was $21, which is below the county median of $80. The scheduled build window of 92 days aligns closely with the county median for projects of this type.

Design and Construction Timeline

Estudio Architecture served as the design firm of record for the project. The registered accessibility specialist was Monica J Harris. The project was registered with TDLR in April 2025, with plan review completed in the same month. Construction began in June 2025. The filing indicated a completion date of September 2025, but the final inspection passed in March 2026. This extended timeline reflects the complexity of re-demising existing structures to meet specific accessibility standards.

TDLR closed the project file in October 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The status is listed as Project Closed. This confirms that the required accessibility modifications were reviewed and approved. The project is privately funded on private land for private use, ensuring that public funds were not involved in the construction or design phases.

Simon Property Group, Inc. has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $8,792,870. These include locations at Katy Mills Mall, Shops at Clearfork, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and University Park. Estudio Architecture has worked on six other projects totaling $2,902,135, including work at ETC Development Building C and Midland Park Mall. This pattern indicates a consistent approach to accessibility compliance across multiple commercial properties in Texas.
