This facility is designed to serve as a new elementary school, featuring a building footprint of 26,297 sq ft along with new parking infrastructure. The estimated cost for this development stands at $12,800,000, resulting in a cost per square foot of $487.

Charlotte ISD serves as the owner and developer of record for this public project. The design work is being handled by Pfluger Architects, a firm with a substantial portfolio of other TDLR-registered projects across Texas, including developments in San Antonio, Brenham, and Leander. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Monica Guajardo. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in April 2025, and the plan review process was completed in the same month.

Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2025 and is scheduled to finish in October 2026. This creates a build window of 452 days, which is notably longer than the county median of 182 days for comparable new construction projects. The TDLR status is listed as Review Complete.
