Kiton

A 1,765 sq ft retail remodel is underway at Suite A125 of the River Oaks District complex, located at 4444 Westheimer Rd in Houston. The project, filed under the business name Kiton, is a renovation and alteration effort on private land. The estimated cost for this specific suite is $266,750, which equates to $151 per square foot.

The same entity has five other TDLR-registered projects in Houston, including a $2,500,000 renovation of River Oaks District Building C that is marked as closed. LH2 Architecture LLC serves as the design firm of record. The registered accessibility specialist for this filing is Robert W Green. The project is privately funded and situated in the Afton Oaks / River Oaks Area of Harris County.

Timeline and Status

The project registered with TDLR in February 2026. Plan review was completed in March 2026, and construction was scheduled to begin in April 2026. The filing indicates a scheduled completion date of July 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window of 109 days is close to the Harris County median of 92 days for renovation and alteration projects.

City of Houston permit records show 13 permits on file at this street address, issued between February 2026 and August 2026. These permits include various retail store remodels and facade updates. According to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates for ZIP 77027, the area has a population of about 19,269 and a median household income of $102,861. The River Oaks District is described by third-party sources as an open-air luxury shopping complex that opened in 2015, though these external descriptions do not confirm the status of this specific suite.

Other registered projects in the same area include renovations at Houston Galleria Vi, Fidelity Houston Highland Village, and Homewood Suites Houston Galleria. The Harris County unemployment rate was 5.2 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. This project is one of several active or completed renovations in the Highland Village and Galleria/Uptown vicinity, reflecting ongoing development in this retail-focused mixed-use property.
