Harris County Health Pods – Doss Park in Houston, TX

Harris County Health Pods – Doss Park is a new one-story mobile medical clinic located at 2509 Frick Road in Houston. The project involves the new construction of a 1,230 sq ft facility intended to serve as a health pod within the park's parking lots. The filing specifies that ramps will be provided for access to these clinic units. The estimated cost for this build is $677,300, which computes to $551 per square foot.

Project Scope and Ownership

The County of Harris is the owner and developer of record for this accessibility-compliant structure. Page Southerland Page, Inc. serves as the design firm of record, with Laura Fulkerson listed as the registered accessibility specialist. The project is funded through public funds and public land, aligning with Harris County's broader infrastructure development goals. This specific health pod is one of several projects under the County's portfolio, which includes other registered developments in Humble, Katy, and Houston totaling over $21 million.

The construction timeline for the Harris County Health Pods – Doss Park project was compact relative to regional averages. The scheduled build window spanned 61 days, from a planned start in May 2026 to a completion date of July 2026. This duration is shorter than the median scheduled build window of 219 days for new construction filings in Harris County. While the project cost is close to the county median of $750,000 for similar filings, the cost per square foot is above the median of $88 for the region.

TDLR completed plan review in April 2026 and construction was scheduled to finish in July 2026; TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The registration status is listed as Review Complete, but the absence of a final inspection record means the physical completion of the ramps and clinic units remains unverified in the public database. The project was registered in January 2026, initiating the administrative process for this 1,230 sq ft addition to the Doss Park infrastructure.

The site is situated in ZIP code 77038, an area with a population of approximately 31,271 residents. Census estimates for this ZIP code indicate a median household income of $50,655 and a median owner-occupied home value of $173,500. The housing stock is mostly owner-occupied, with about 9,134 housing units. This context places the new medical facility within an established residential neighborhood that is part of the larger Harris County urban fabric.

The design firm, Page Southerland Page, Inc., has other TDLR-registered projects in the region, including facilities at Ben Taub Hospital and the Energy Corridor. These other projects, totaling over $13 million, demonstrate the firm's involvement in various healthcare and public infrastructure developments across Houston and Galveston. The inclusion of this health pod in Doss Park reflects a continued effort to integrate mobile medical services into public parks across the county.
