Advanced Auto Parts is undergoing a $400,000 interior renovation at 8740 Spencer Highway in Laporte, Texas. The project involves the upfitting of 6,924 square feet of existing space to accommodate the new tenant, with construction scheduled to finish in September 2026. Work began in July 2026 following a plan review completed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in April 2026.
The renovation is privately funded and executed on private land for private use. The owner of record is 8740 Spencer Highway LP, and the registered accessibility specialist for the filing is David C Deming. The scope of work is strictly limited to interior tenant alterations, transforming the existing structure to meet the specific operational needs of the auto parts retailer.
Project Context and Location
The site is located in Harris County, within a commercial corridor that includes established businesses such as Mavis Tires & Brakes, Chick-fil-A, and a Walmart Supercenter. The area serves a population of approximately 37,659 residents, with a median household income of $83,795 according to U.S. Census estimates for ZIP code 77571. Housing in the area is predominantly owner-occupied, with a median home value of $220,300.
Compared to 38,937 other renovation and alteration filings in Harris County, this project’s estimated cost is above the county median of $250,000.
