Justin TX Granger 250 SCE- Church Meetinghouse in Fort Worth, TX

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has filed a new construction project for an 18,280 sq ft church meetinghouse and a 214 sq ft storage building at the corner of SWC Texan Drive and FM156 (Blue Mound Road) in Fort Worth. The project is located in Tarrant County and is registered under the name Justin TX Granger 250 SCE- Church Meetinghouse.

Emc2 Group Inc. is the registered architect of record for this development. The estimated cost for the new construction is $8,000,000, which calculates to $438 per square foot. This figure is above the Tarrant County median for new construction filings, which stands at $120 per square foot. The scheduled build window is 365 days, longer than the county median of 214 days for similar projects.

The project was registered with TDLR in May 2025 with a target completion date of September 2026. Construction was scheduled to begin in September 2025. However, no plan review or inspection has been recorded in the public record since registration. Therefore, it is not confirmed whether the project proceeded as scheduled or if the completion date was met.
