Barnes & Noble in Spring, TX

Barnes & Noble completed a 12,431 sq ft interior renovation at 6600 Spring Stuebner Rd Suite 152 in Spring, Texas. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), focused on a tenant fit-out within an existing space without changing the building's occupancy or use. TDLR closed the project file in April 2026, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.

The renovation was privately funded and executed by GP Marketplace 1750 LLC, the owner of record. HBC Architects served as the design firm, overseeing the scope of work that totaled an estimated cost of $430,500. This figure translates to $35 per square foot, a rate below the Harris County median of $80 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings. The scheduled build window spanned 121 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for projects of this type.

Timeline and Completion

The project was registered with TDLR in May 2025, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction began in July 2025, with a scheduled completion date of November 2025. Although the filing indicated a target finish date in late 2025, the final inspection was passed in January 2026. This timeline reflects the actual duration from start to final approval, ensuring all accessibility standards were met before the file was officially closed.

Kimberly J. Goss served as the registered accessibility specialist, ensuring the design complied with state requirements. The project sits within the ZIP 77389 area, where U.S. Census estimates indicate a population of about 44,545 and a median household income of $145,228. The housing stock in this area is predominantly owner-occupied, with a median home value of $387,100 according to five-year Census data.

GP Marketplace 1750 LLC has two other TDLR-registered projects in Spring, including Grand Pkwy Marketplace and Grand Parkway Marketplace. HBC Architects has worked on six other registered projects across Texas, ranging from Grand Prairie to Burleson. The Barnes & Noble renovation stands as a distinct entry in this portfolio, characterized by its specific cost per square foot and build window relative to Harris County norms.

The final inspection in January 2026 confirmed that the interior fit-out met all necessary codes. With the TDLR file closed in April 2026, the administrative and construction phases for this specific tenant improvement are complete. The record provides a clear snapshot of the investment and timeline for this 12,431 sq ft space in the Spring marketplace.
