Good Samaritan Center Building Expansion & Addition in Fredericksburg, TX

The Good Samaritan Center Building Expansion & Addition at 140 Industrial Loop, Suite 100, in Fredericksburg, is a one-story expansion and renovation of an existing community health center. The project adds 5,885 sq ft of new space to the facility, with an estimated cost of $2,600,000. This translates to a construction cost of $442 per square foot, a figure that places the project above the county median for similar additions to existing buildings.

Fredericksburg Community Health Center is the owner of record for this development. The design firm of record is Mustard Architects, which has handled several other projects in the region, including the Frieden Amenity Center in Fredericksburg and the Hill Country Youth Event Center in Kerrville. The project was registered with TDLR in October 2025, and plan review was completed in March 2026. Construction was scheduled to begin in February 2026, with a target completion date of June 2026.

Project Scope and Status

The scope of work involves additions to the existing structure to expand the health center's capacity. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use. While the scheduled construction window of 119 days is shorter than the county median of 182 days for comparable projects, the per-square-foot cost remains significantly higher than the regional average. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is Laura Fulkerson.

Although the filing indicates a completion date of June 2026, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. This means the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project status is listed as Review Complete, but the lack of a final inspection record prevents confirmation that construction has fully concluded. Readers should note that construction status and business opening are distinct; the public record only confirms the regulatory review and scheduled construction timeline.

In Gillespie County, the median estimated cost for additions to existing buildings is $432,000, with a median size of 4,508 sq ft. The Good Samaritan Center project exceeds these medians in both cost and size, reflecting a larger scale of investment in local healthcare infrastructure. The area, ZIP code 78624, has a population of about 23,610 residents, with a median household income of $67,987. This expansion aligns with the community's need for accessible, non-profit health services in a predominantly owner-occupied housing market.
