The development is privately funded on private land for private use.

The owner of record for this development is J and B Interests LLC. Koval Architects serves as the design firm of record, bringing experience from other regional projects such as Ace Hardware locations in League City and Emmons Autoplex in Webster. The registered accessibility specialist overseeing the project is Meghan Broussard Simecek.

Construction Timeline and Status

TDLR completed plan review in April 2026 and construction is scheduled to finish in December 2026, with work starting May 2026. The total scheduled build window is 244 days, which is close to the Harris County median of 219 days for new construction projects. The status is Review Complete, indicating that the regulatory approval process for the accessibility plan has been finalized.

The site is located in a commercial area of Harris County, near businesses such as Los Cucos Mexican Cafe, Midway Food Market, and The Katy Area Chamber of Commerce. The surrounding ZIP code 77493 has a population of about 62,264 residents, with a median household income of $113,388 according to U.S. Census estimates. This demographic profile suggests a stable, owner-occupied housing market with a median home value of $321,900.

Koval Architects has registered six other projects with TDLR, totaling $3,765,000 in estimated costs. These include two Ace Hardware projects in League City, each valued at $1,200,000, and the Vitacca Ballet Academy in Katy, valued at $75,000. The Guiding Light Therapies project fits within this portfolio of varied commercial and institutional developments across the Houston area.

Construction is expected to proceed according to the filed schedule, with completion targeted for the end of 2026. The project’s cost is below the Harris County median of $750,000 for new construction, reflecting the specific scope of this 4,533-square-foot build-out. The registration with TDLR ensures that the accessibility features are reviewed and approved before construction begins.
