📰About Texas State Aquarium Ocean Odyssey
The Texas State Aquarium Ocean Odyssey renovation at 2710 N Shoreline Blvd. in Corpus Christi involves an estimated $1,000,000 investment to create 3,200 sq ft of new interactive exhibit space. This interior alteration project is registered with TDLR under the name Texas State Aquarium Ocean Odyssey, with Jesse Gilbert listed as the owner of record and Turner Ramirez Architects as the design firm.
The filing indicates a construction start date of December 2025 and a target completion date of July 2026. However, the project record shows that no plan review or inspection has been recorded since registration in November 2025. Consequently, the public record does not confirm whether the work proceeded, paused, or was completed within the scheduled timeframe.
Turner Ramirez Architects has registered six other projects with TDLR, totaling nearly $75 million. These include the CCRTA Operations Facility in Corpus Christi, valued at $55,994,594, and the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, valued at $2,226,030. Both of those projects have completed review, highlighting the firm’s active role in large-scale development within the region.
The estimated cost of $312 per square foot is above the county median of $80 for renovation and alteration filings in Nueces County. The scheduled build window of 242 days is also longer than the county median of 113 days. These figures position the project in the top quarter of estimated costs for its type within the county, reflecting the specialized nature of aquarium exhibit construction.
The project involves public funds, public land, or is a Federally funded roadway project, according to the filing. The registered accessibility specialist for this project is Jonathan Eric Rivera. While the TDLR status is listed as Project Registered, the lack of recorded inspections means the physical status of the interior renovation remains unverified in the public database.
