ORS NASCO

ORS Nasco completed a $2,000,000 renovation of its existing facility at 14959 Jacintoport Blvd Ste 100, Houston, TX 77015. The project involved 3,864 sq ft of interior build-out within a larger 152,409 sq ft structure in Harris County. Johnson Development Associates served as the owner of record, while LO Architecture handled the design. The work was privately funded on private land for private use.

The scope of work focused entirely on interior modifications and mechanical upgrades. Contractors installed HVLS fans, pit levelers, rooftop exhaust fans, and aerosol storage systems. The filing explicitly noted that there was no exterior work, and all buildings, parking, and site elements remained existing. This approach allowed for significant operational improvements without altering the facility's footprint or external appearance.

The construction timeline was tight, spanning from February 2026 to May 2026. Plan review was completed in March 2026, just one month after the initial registration. The project achieved a final inspection pass in May 2026, aligning with the scheduled completion date. This 89-day build window is close to the Harris County median of 92 days for similar renovation and alteration filings.

Financially, the project's estimated cost of $2,000,000 places it in the top quarter of Harris County renovation filings, which have a median cost of $250,000. However, the cost per square foot was $13, significantly below the county median of $80. This discrepancy reflects the large total square footage of the existing building being renovated, rather than just the new build-out area. The registered accessibility specialist for the project was Kenneth Otten.

TDLR closed the project file in September 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. Johnson Development Associates has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $3,177,478, including other Houston locations like Mesa Bldg 1 and Pinto Business Park. LO Architecture has also worked on six other projects totaling $8,455,887, including major facilities in Houston and San Antonio. The TDLR record confirms the project status as Project Closed.
