The project, registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in October 2025, is a privately funded development on private land. The estimated cost for this new construction is $900,000, which equates to $257 per square foot.

Construction was scheduled to begin in November 2025 with a planned completion date of August 2026. The TDLR status is listed as Review Complete, indicating that plan review finished in October 2025. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
