BECN in Garland, TX

The renovation and alteration of BECN Garland at 3110 S. Jupiter in Garland is complete. The project passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in March 2026, confirming that the construction phase has concluded. This work involved relocating existing offices by building new spaces and then demolishing the old ones, a scope that required careful coordination to maintain operational continuity during the transition.

The project covers 4,900 square feet with an estimated cost of $300,000. This translates to a cost of $61 per square foot, which is below the Dallas County median of $73 for similar renovation and alteration filings. While the total estimated cost is above the county median of $249,950, the per-square-foot efficiency suggests a focused renovation rather than a full-scale rebuild. The scheduled build window of 151 days was longer than the county median of 92 days, reflecting the complexity of replacing existing office structures.

Project Team and Design

Fred Wong is the owner and developer of record for this privately funded project on private land. HBJ Architects served as the design firm, bringing experience from six other TDLR-registered projects in the region. These include the HSE Office in Mansfield, valued at $1,700,000, and Princeton Storage 2 in Princeton, valued at $1,500,000. The firm’s portfolio demonstrates a consistent approach to commercial renovation, with projects ranging from $60,000 to $1,700,000 across North Texas.

Clinton P Ryan was the registered accessibility specialist for the project, ensuring compliance with state standards. The project was registered with TDLR in April 2025, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction began in June 2025, with an initial completion date listed as October 2025. The final inspection passed in March 2026, indicating that the timeline extended beyond the original filing schedule.
