Valvoline

A new Valvoline Instant Oil Change facility is under construction at 0 Grant Road in Cypress, Harris County. The project involves the new construction of a 3,447 sq ft building that includes a dedicated lube pit for vehicle service. The total estimated cost for this development is $1,449,000, which calculates to $420 per square foot. This figure sits above the Harris County median of $88 per square foot for similar new construction filings, reflecting the specialized infrastructure required for automotive maintenance services.

The owner of record is F6 Propeerties Ltd, while the design firm of record is HFA-AE, Ltd. HFA-AE, Ltd is responsible for several other Valvoline projects across Texas, including locations in Austin, Fort Worth, and San Antonio, as well as a tire and auto service center in Manor. Each of these comparable projects shares the same estimated cost of $1,449,000, indicating a standardized build model for this brand’s expansion strategy in the state. The registered accessibility specialist for this specific Cypress project is Landy Perkins.

The project was registered with TDLR in October 2025, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in February 2026 with a completion date listed on the filing as August 2026. Although that scheduled completion date has passed, the TDLR record has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the business cannot be confirmed as open or operating based on the available filing data.

The site is located in the Cypress area, a part of Harris County with a ZIP code 77429 population of approximately 95,938 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates. The median household income in this area is $117,931, and housing is predominantly owner-occupied. Nearby businesses include Pet Supermarket, Northpointe Family Dentistry, and Bo Bo Garden. The construction window of 182 days is close to the county median of 219 days for similar projects, suggesting a standard timeline for this type of commercial build.

Harris County unemployment stood at 5.2 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier, according to FRED data. This project is privately funded on private land for private use. Other registered projects in the immediate area include The Mae, Spring Plaza, and Lupita's Mexican Kitchen. The Valvoline brand is already established in the broader Cypress area, with a separate location listed at 9514 Fry Road in ZIP code 77433, which is distinct from this new Grant Road development.
