HUB INTERNATIONAL in Houston, TX

HUB International completed a 9,462 sq ft office renovation at 920 Memorial City Way in Houston, merging three tenant spaces into a single suite. The project, filed under the facility name Cobalt Building, was privately funded by MetroNational and executed at an estimated cost of $1,397,712. This translates to $148 per square foot, a figure that sits above the Harris County median of $80 for similar renovation and alteration work.

The renovation scope involved consolidating distinct office areas into one cohesive workspace. Ted Moudis Associates served as the design firm of record, guiding the architectural changes required for the merge. Brian Gary Stanton was the registered accessibility specialist responsible for ensuring the new layout met state standards. The work was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in August 2025, with plan review completed in the same month.

Construction began in September 2025. The scheduled build window was 136 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for comparable projects. The final inspection passed in February 2026, confirming that the physical alterations were complete and compliant. In June 2026, TDLR closed the project file, marking the end of the accessibility review process for this construction.
