Horizon Shopping Center in Socorro, TX

Horizon Shopping Center is a new construction project located at 200 Horizon Blvd. in Socorro, Texas. The development comprises 5,832 square feet of new space, with an estimated construction cost of $875,000. This places the project’s cost per square foot at $150, a figure that sits above the county median of $111 for similar new construction filings in El Paso County. The scheduled build window of 365 days is longer than the county median of 214 days, reflecting the scale of the development relative to other recent projects in the region.

The project is owned by Horizone Properties LLC Series A and designed by Exigo Architecture. Exigo Architecture has other registered projects in the area, including the El Paso Water Administration Building and The Children's Museum, both located in El Paso. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is Olaf E Brunjes. The site is privately funded on private land for private use, indicating a commercial development model rather than a public or institutional one.

Construction Status and Timeline

TDLR completed plan review in July 2025, and construction was scheduled to begin in October 2025. The filing indicated a completion date of October 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. This means that while the scheduled timeline has passed, the official completion status remains unverified in the TDLR registry. Readers should note that the absence of a final inspection record does not confirm that the building is operational or open to the public.

The project is situated in ZIP code 79927, an area with a population of about 43,126 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates. The median household income in this ZIP code is $51,735, and the median owner-occupied home value is $125,300. These demographic and economic indicators provide context for the commercial development’s location within the Socorro community. Nearby registered projects include The Padel Company, Bldg 01, Circle K, Project Nuevo, and Revive Community Church, suggesting a mix of commercial and community-focused construction activity in the immediate area.

El Paso County’s unemployment rate was 4.6 percent in August 2026, lower than a year earlier, according to FRED data. This economic backdrop may influence the demand for new retail and commercial space in Socorro. The project’s registration with TDLR ensures that accessibility standards are addressed in the design and construction process, a requirement for all new commercial buildings in Texas. The specific scope of work is limited to the 5,832 square feet of new construction, with no additional details provided in the public filing regarding interior finishes or tenant mix.
