Meridian Group Warehouse Addition in Houston, TX

Meridian Group has filed a registration for a new 8,750-square-foot metal building warehouse at 13940 S. Wayside Drive in Houston, Texas. The project, identified in the filing as the Meridian Group Warehouse Addition, is a new construction effort with an estimated cost of $656,250. This private development is located in Harris County and is owned by Meridian Group.

The design of record is handled by Abboud Engineering, LLC, a firm that has registered six other projects in the region totaling $5,364,000. Helen R Peter is the registered accessibility specialist for this specific filing. The project is privately funded on private land for private use, with no public funding sources indicated in the record.

The scheduled construction window is notably short compared to regional norms. The filing lists a start date of March 2026 and a target completion date of May 2026. This 74-day build window is shorter than the 219-day median scheduled build window for new construction projects in Harris County. The estimated cost of $75 per square foot is close to the county median of $88 per square foot for similar filings.

The project was registered with TDLR in December 2025. However, no plan review or inspection has been recorded since that initial registration. Because the target completion date of May 2026 has passed without public records confirming the final steps, it is not confirmed in the public record whether the construction proceeded as scheduled or if the project has been completed.

Context for the location includes Census estimates for ZIP code 77048, which shows a population of about 20,430 and a median household income of $54,625. The area has 8,029 housing units, with a median owner-occupied home value of $190,900. Housing in this ZIP code is mostly owner-occupied. The Harris County unemployment rate was 5.2 percent in July 2026, a figure higher than a year earlier according to FRED data.
