CML Exploration in The Woodlands, TX

CML Exploration completed an interior renovation of 2,127 square feet at Town Center II in The Woodlands. The project, registered with TDLR in April 2025, involved modifications to Level 04 lease space, including wall alterations, new finishes, and updated electrical and plumbing systems. The estimated cost was $110,000, translating to $52 per square foot. TDLR closed the project file in April 2025, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

Project Scope and Location

The work took place at 1330 Lake Robbins Drive Suite 425, within the Town Center area of Montgomery County. The scope was strictly limited to the interior of the leased space, focusing on functional updates rather than structural changes to the building envelope. This specific location is part of a broader development portfolio managed by SVN, the owner of record for this filing.

SVN has registered five other projects in The Woodlands with TDLR, totaling $1,900,000 in estimated costs. These include separate filings for Parkwood II and Town Center One, all of which have completed their review processes. The design for this renovation was handled by English+Associates Architects, a firm that has registered six other projects across Texas, including facilities in Houston and Montgomery. The registered accessibility specialist for this specific filing was Jeromy G Murphy.

Market Context and Timeline

The $110,000 estimated cost places this project below the county median for renovation and alteration filings, which stands at $250,000. The scheduled build window of 63 days was shorter than the county median of 92 days for similar projects. With a cost of $52 per square foot, the price point is also below the county median of $85 per square foot. These figures are derived from 3,519 TDLR-registered renovation filings in Montgomery County, providing a clear benchmark for this specific type of commercial work.

The project was privately funded and conducted on private land for private use. The registration and closure occurred within the same month, April 2025, indicating a streamlined administrative process for this small-scale interior update. The Woodlands area, specifically ZIP code 77380, has a median household income of $84,468 and a median owner-occupied home value of $343,900 according to U.S. Census estimates. This context helps situate the commercial activity within a well-established residential and business community.
