Morse Street Pain Clinic & MedSpa in Houston, TX

Morse Street Pain Clinic & MedSpa Renovation

The Morse Street Pain Clinic & MedSpa project involves a significant interior build-out at 2515 Morse St, Houston, TX 77019. This renovation targets an existing two-story commercial shell, transforming the 3,760 square foot space into a dedicated pain treatment clinic and medical spa. The scope of work is divided by floor: Level 1 is designated for the pain treatment clinic with exam rooms, occupying 1,800 square feet. Level 2 is allocated for the med-spa, also comprising 1,800 square feet of treatment rooms. This specific allocation ensures that each functional area has substantial dedicated space within the total footprint.

SEA Barnacle is the owner and developer of record for this privately funded initiative on private land. Phase Studio Architecture serves as the design firm of record, overseeing the architectural planning for the accessibility-compliant build-out. The project is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the Texas Accessibility Standards (TABS) framework. Kam-hung Kenneth Woo is the registered accessibility specialist responsible for ensuring the design meets all regulatory requirements for public accommodations and commercial facilities.

The estimated cost for this renovation is $500,000. When divided by the total square footage, the cost per square foot is $133. This figure is above the county median of $80 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings in Harris County. The total project cost is also above the county median estimated cost of $250,000 for this type of work. The scheduled build window for this project is 151 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for comparable projects.

TDLR completed the plan review for this project in August 2026. Construction is scheduled to finish in October 2026, with work starting in June 2026. The current TDLR status is listed as Review Complete. City of Houston permit records show three permits on file at this street address, issued between June 2026 and August 2026. These permits include building payment approvals and specific work for clinic office build-out and demolition of interior non-load bearing non-fire rated walls.

This project is one of seven TDLR-registered projects involving the same design firm, Phase Studio Architecture. The other six projects total $1,050,000 in estimated costs and include developments such as Bellaire Market District and North Freeway Plaza in Houston. The Morse Street location sits in ZIP code 77019, where the U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates indicate a median household income of $108,353. The area has approximately 23,662 residents and 14,387 housing units, with housing being mostly renter-occupied.
