The cost per square foot is $83, a figure close to the county median of $88 for new construction projects in the area.

Meeks Partners has registered six other projects with TDLR, totaling $285,000,000 in estimated value. These include developments in Arlington, Kyle, Cypress, Austin, and Fort Worth. In the immediate vicinity of Greenhouse Road, other registered projects include Building 1, Building 2, and the Clay Wood Pine Retail Center.

Construction Activity and Local Context

Third-party activity indicates significant on-site work has begun. A Facebook post by Hart Plumbing Southwest stated that the company is on site at Pelican Greenhouse, describing the progression from underground rough-in to top-out and finish work. Similarly, an Instagram post by Hart Plumbing noted their presence with NRP at the location. While these posts confirm active construction phases, the official TDLR status remains Review Complete, with the completion date fixed for late 2027.

The Harris County unemployment rate was 5.4 percent in June 2026, higher than a year earlier, according to FRED data. This labor market context accompanies a development that is larger and more expensive than the median Harris County new construction filing, which typically costs $750,000 and spans 8,962 square feet. Pelican Greenhouse stands out as a major residential addition to the Katy submarket, with specific accessibility features mandated by its TDLR registration.
