Roy Orr Quickturn - MRO in Grand Prairie, TX

GE Aerospace has completed a $2,000,000 renovation at 3550 Roy Orr Blvd. Suite 180 in Grand Prairie, Texas. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as Roy Orr Quickturn - MRO, converted 122,277 square feet of warehouse and manufacturing space into an aircraft engine quick-turn shop and maintenance facility. The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in August 2026, confirming that construction is complete.

The renovation was executed under the ownership of IPT Dallas Distribution Portfolio LP, with Burns & McDonnell serving as the design firm of record. Michael Lynn Kelley served as the registered accessibility specialist for the project. The work was privately funded on private land for private use, distinct from public infrastructure projects.

The scheduled build window of 122 days was longer than the county median of 92 days. However, the cost efficiency was notable, with a computed rate of $16 per square foot, which is below the county median of $72 per square foot.
