📰About The Novus Academy

Project Scope and Ownership

Gateway Church is the owner of record for this privately funded project on private land.

The timeline for this renovation was notably brief. The filing indicated a construction start in July 2025 and a scheduled completion in August 2025. This 32-day scheduled build window is shorter than the 92-day median for similar renovation and alteration filings in Tarrant County. The estimated cost is close to the $250,000 median for such projects in the county, while the cost per square foot is below the county median of $79.

Local coverage by Community Impact described the move of The Novus Academy from Grapevine to this Southlake location.
