Project Status and Timeline

TDLR completed plan review in July 2025, and construction was scheduled to begin in September 2025 with a target completion date of March 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project is privately funded on private land for private use. It is registered with TDLR under the TABS program, which tracks accessibility compliance for construction projects in Texas.

This renovation is significantly larger than typical Harris County renovation filings. The estimated cost of $3,200,000 is above the county median for this type of work, placing it in the top quarter of recent filings. The scheduled build window of 183 days is longer than the county median of 92 days. The cost per square foot is $65, which is below the county median of $80 per square foot. These figures are computed from 39,129 TDLR-registered renovation and alteration filings in Harris County.

Cbre has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $2,106,243, including a project at Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave and one at 515 Post Oak in Houston. RS&H has six other registered projects totaling $16,362,300, including work at Laredo International Airport and Medtronic Fort Worth. Other registered projects in the same area include the Swift Building renovation and new multifamily construction on Center Street. The site is located in ZIP code 77002, where the U.S. Census estimates the population at about 19,616 and the median household income at $85,436.

Nearby businesses include the Downtown Aquarium, Flying Saucer Draught Emporium, and the JW Marriott Houston Downtown. The Harris County unemployment rate was 5 percent in August 2026, lower than a year earlier. This project is part of a broader pattern of commercial development in Houston's Central Business District, where accessibility compliance is monitored through TDLR filings.
