This renovation project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), is estimated to cost $1,500,000. The work involves a complete interior alteration to support mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for a new gym environment.

These external descriptions highlight the brand’s expansion plans, though the official TDLR filing lists the construction estimate at $1,500,000.

Scope and Timeline

The renovation scope includes transforming the existing retail space into a functional fitness center. This requires significant updates to the building’s infrastructure to accommodate equipment and member traffic. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Jeffrey A Gutknecht. The project is privately funded on private land for private use. TDLR completed plan review in January 2026, and construction is scheduled to finish in January 2027, with work starting March 2026.

This build window of 292 days is longer than the county median of 92 days for similar renovation and alteration projects in Montgomery County. The estimated cost of $1,500,000 is above the county median of $248,088 for this project type. However, the cost per square foot is $42, which is below the county median of $85 per square foot. These figures suggest a large-scale conversion that prioritizes volume and infrastructure over high-per-square-foot costs typical of smaller alterations.

Jplus Architects, Inc has registered six other Crunch Fitness projects with TDLR, each with an estimated cost of $1,500,000 and a status of review complete. These locations include New Braunfels, Garland, Austin, Leander, and San Antonio. The Woodlands project fits within this pattern of standardized gym renovations across Texas. Nearby businesses in the Sterling Ridge area include Sterling Ridge Dental, Kid to Kid The Woodlands, and Brothers Pizza Express.
