TCH Legacy Tower L3 Just Walk Out Store in Houston, TX

Texas Children's Hospital is renovating a 760-square-foot space at 6651 Main Street in Houston's Medical Center Area. The project, registered with TDLR as the TCH Legacy Tower L3 Just Walk Out Store, is a privately funded alteration estimated at $700,000. This places the cost per square foot at $921, which is above the Harris County median of $80 for similar renovation filings.

The scope of work involves a small amount of demolition and the construction of a secured MDF room with a sloped enclosure. The team will also partially enclose an existing bench and prepare a "white box" space with utilities. This preparation allows an outside vendor to erect a store system. The design is credited to Page Southerland Page, INC., with William T Winning serving as the registered accessibility specialist.

Construction was scheduled to begin in February 2026 and finish in April 2026. This 60-day build window is shorter than the 92-day median for Harris County renovation projects. While the completion date on the filing has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the project remains in the Review Complete status.

Texas Children's Hospital has six other TDLR-registered projects in Houston, totaling $4,050,897. These include renovations at the main hospital and the Pavilion for Women. The design firm, Page Southerland Page, INC., has worked on six other registered projects totaling $91,300,000, including significant renovations at Memorial Hermann Hospital and Houston Methodist facilities.

The surrounding area, ZIP code 77030, has a population of about 12,976 and a median household income of $79,415 according to U.S. Census estimates. The housing stock is mostly renter-occupied, with a median owner-occupied home value of $614,100. Other registered renovation projects in the Medical Center Area include work on Amegy on Main and the Houston Methodist Neurosensory building.

City of Houston permit records show one building permit on file at this street address, issued in April 2026. This aligns with the 760-square-foot size cited in the TDLR filing. The project is located on private land for private use, distinct from the broader public infrastructure of the Medical Center.
