📰About FAB Cleanroom - Observation Deck
The FAB Cleanroom - Observation Deck is a new construction project at 1530 FM 973 in Taylor, Texas. Owned by Samsung Austin Semiconductor LLC, the filing describes the work as the construction of a stair and the installation of a LULA. The project covers 2,507 sq ft with an estimated cost of $6,500,000, resulting in a computed rate of $2,593 per square foot.
Stantec Architecture Inc. serves as the design firm of record, and Stacey L Brewer is the registered accessibility specialist. The work is privately funded on private land. Construction was scheduled to begin in February 2026 and finish in July 2026. TDLR completed plan review in September 2026; however, the agency has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
Project Context
The estimated cost for the FAB Cleanroom - Observation Deck is above the county median for new construction. The scheduled build window of 140 days is shorter than the county median of 245 days. The $2,593 per square foot cost is significantly above the county median of $110. Samsung Austin Semiconductor LLC has two other TDLR-registered projects in Taylor, both office buildings with review complete. Stantec Architecture Inc. has six other registered projects in Texas, including a $76,000,000 school in Fort Worth.
The site is near other Samsung facilities and local businesses such as SAMOO Trailer and F.D. Thomas, Inc. The ZIP code 76574 has a population of about 19,746 and a median household income of $72,805 according to U.S. Census estimates. The project status remains Review Complete. While the filing lists a completion date of July 2026, the lack of a final inspection record means the physical completion of the stair and LULA installation is not verified in the TDLR database.
