City Food Mart in Lancaster, TX

A 2,562 sq ft commercial renovation at 918 N Dallas Ave in Lancaster is registered with TDLR under the project name City Food Mart. The filing, recorded in April 2026, identifies BIK Holding LLC as the owner of record and lists an estimated cost of $128,000. This figure equates to $50 per square foot, a rate below the Dallas County median of $72 for similar renovation and alteration filings.

The scope of work described in the registration includes removing interior finishes and repainting the space. The plan also calls for installing a new walk-in cooler, connecting plumbing and electrical to existing systems, and adding parking in front of the building. The registered accessibility specialist for the project is Jeffrey A Gutknecht. The work is privately funded on private land for private use.

Construction Status and Timeline

The filing lists a construction start date of April 2026 and a target completion date of June 2026. The scheduled build window of 61 days is shorter than the 92-day median for comparable projects in Dallas County. However, the public record indicates that no plan review or inspection has been recorded since registration. Therefore, whether the project proceeded as scheduled is not confirmed in the available TDLR data.

Context from the U.S. Census American Community Survey 2023 five-year estimates for ZIP code 75146 shows a population of about 25,804. The median household income in this area is $70,143, and the median owner-occupied home value is $249,000. Housing in this ZIP code is mostly owner-occupied, with 9,575 total housing units. The Dallas County unemployment rate was 3.3 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier.

Because the completion date has passed without recorded inspections, the physical state of the building cannot be verified through construction records alone. The registration remains active in the TDLR database, but the lack of subsequent activity logs means the final status of the interior work and parking additions is uncertain. Readers should treat the project as registered but unverified in terms of completion.
