Design and Registration

Steinberg Dickey Collaborative is the design firm of record for The Hopkins. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in December 2025. Robert W Green is the registered accessibility specialist associated with this filing. The TDLR status indicates that plan review was completed in December 2025. Construction was scheduled to begin in January 2025, with a planned completion date of June 2026.

Despite the scheduled completion date having passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current physical state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project is privately funded on private land for private use. The estimated cost of $500,000 places this project above the Harris County median estimated cost of $250,000 for similar renovation filings. The scheduled build window of 531 days is longer than the county median of 92 days for this project type.

The $379 cost per square foot is above the county median of $80 per square foot. Steinberg Dickey Collaborative has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $136,234,399.
