Labcorp

HeightsMED is a 1,542 sq ft medical office renovation located at 427 W 20th St Suite 425 in Houston, Texas. The project was filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the project name Labcorp. This specific unit is part of a larger development effort by 427 W 20th LLC, which has six other TDLR-registered projects in the area totaling $2,150,000.

Project Scope and Cost

The estimated cost for this renovation is $130,000, which translates to $84 per square foot. This cost is below the Harris County median of $250,000 for similar renovation filings, while the per-square-foot rate is close to the county median of $80. The design firm of record is JZ Interior Design, and the registered accessibility specialist is William T Winning. The work is privately funded on private land for private use.

Construction was scheduled to begin in May 2026, following plan review completion in the same month. The filing indicated a completion date of September 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
