42855 7-11 McLendon TX @ FM 550 & SH 205

The 42855 7-Eleven project involves the new construction of a convenience store with fuel sales at FM 550 and SH 205 in Chisholm, Texas. The facility will cover 4,746 sq ft and has an estimated cost of $950,000. This privately funded development on private land for private use is located at a major roadway intersection in Rockwall County.

Construction Timeline and Status

The project was registered with TDLR in January 2026. Plan review was completed in February 2026, establishing the regulatory framework for the build. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2026, and the project is scheduled to finish in February 2027. This timeline reflects a standard construction window for a new retail and fuel facility of this size, allowing for necessary site preparation, structural work, and interior finishing before the final phases of installation.

The design firm of record is Relevant Studio, LLC, which is also registered on several other 7-Eleven projects across Texas, including locations in Little Elm, Crandall, Springtown, and Melissa. This indicates a standardized approach to store design and compliance across the developer’s portfolio. The registered accessibility specialist for this specific project is Justin K Walton, ensuring that the facility meets state requirements for access and usability during the design and construction phases.

Project Economics and Context

With a computed cost of $200 per square foot, the project’s unit cost is above the Rockwall County median of $135 per square foot for new construction filings. However, the total estimated cost of $950,000 is close to the county median of $945,000, suggesting that the project aligns with typical investment levels for similar new commercial builds in the region. The scheduled build window of 294 days is slightly longer than the county median of 240 days, potentially accounting for the specific site conditions or phased construction requirements at this location.

VRE McLendon 7E, LLC is the owner and developer of record for this project. The registration status is Review Complete, confirming that the plans have passed the necessary state inspections and approvals. This status provides confidence that the project is proceeding in accordance with local and state building codes, with the final completion date set for early 2027.
