Construction Status and Timeline

TDLR completed the plan review for this project in January 2026. According to the filing, construction was scheduled to begin in March 2026, with a planned completion date of August 2026. While the scheduled build window of 158 days is longer than the 92-day median for similar renovations in Collin County, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. This means the public record does not confirm whether the site is finished or in use.

The estimated cost of $1,200,000 places this project in the top quarter of renovation costs in Collin County, where the median estimated cost for similar filings is $220,000. The project's cost per square foot is $270, which is above the county median of $77. These figures reflect the specialized nature of healthcare facility renovations and the specific scope of work involved in updating surgical waiting areas.
