YMCA in Kennedale, TX

The YMCA Kennedale renovation at 113 W Kennedale Pkwy is complete, having passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in August 2026. This 9,498-square-foot interior renovation in Kennedale, Texas, was executed by the City of Kennedale with an estimated cost of $758,000.

Grace Design Studio served as the design firm of record for this project, which was registered with TDLR in September 2025. The scope of work focused specifically on interior renovation of the facility. Construction began in October 2025, following the completion of plan review in the same month.

The project’s estimated cost of $758,000 places it above the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration filings in Tarrant County, which is $250,000. The scheduled build window of 272 days is longer than the county median of 92 days. The cost per square foot is $80, which is close to the county median of $79 per square foot.

Local coverage has noted the project’s progress. A Facebook post by kennedalenews mentioned the Kennedale YMCA opening in January 2027, though the TDLR record confirms only the completion of construction and accessibility compliance. ConstructConnect described the project as a renovation of a clubhouse and community center, aligning with the interior renovation scope filed with TDLR.

The City of Kennedale has two other TDLR-registered projects: the Kennedale Sports Complex and James A Arthur Intermediate. Grace Design Studio has completed six other TDLR-registered projects, including several Frost Bank locations and F&M Bank, with a combined total value of $21,650,000.

Tarrant County’s unemployment rate was 4.6 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. The project’s completion marks the end of the construction phase, with the final TDLR accessibility inspection confirming compliance with state accessibility standards.
