TCU Sid Richardson Bldg Suite 509 Renovation

The TCU Sid Richardson Building in Fort Worth underwent a targeted renovation of approximately 2,300 square feet on the fifth floor. This specific scope of work focused on updating existing office space for continued use by current occupants, with an estimated cost of $75,000. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in May 2025.

SBL Architecture, Inc. served as the design firm of record for this alteration. The registered accessibility specialist for the filing was Kimberly J Goss. The construction window was scheduled to begin in June 2025 and conclude in August 2025, representing a 53-day build period. This duration is shorter than the 92-day median for similar renovation filings in Tarrant County.

The financial profile of the project places it below the county median for comparable work. With a cost of $33 per square foot, the renovation was significantly more economical than the median rate of $79 per square foot for renovation and alteration projects in the area. The total estimated cost of $75,000 also falls below the median estimated cost of $250,000 for such filings in Tarrant County.

Texas Christian University is the owner and developer of record for the building. The university has several other TDLR-registered projects in Fort Worth, including the Brown Lupton University Union and the Ed Landreth Hall. SBL Architecture, Inc. has also worked on other TCU facilities, such as the TCU Kelly Alumni Center and the TCU Rec Center, indicating a consistent partnership between the design firm and the university for campus improvements.
