The Pickleball Reserve

The Pickleball Reserve is a new construction project located at 1008 FM359 Rd, STE B, in Richmond, Texas. The filing specifies the scope of work as pickleball courts covering 23,000 square feet of private land in Fort Bend County. The estimated cost for this development is $200,000, which calculates to $9 per square foot. Syed Ali is listed as the owner and developer of record, while Parkview Design & Construction serves as the design firm. James A Gee is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the project.

The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in May 2026. The initial filing indicated a construction start date of June 2026 and a target completion date of July 2026. The scheduled build window of 53 days is shorter than the median of 202 days for similar new construction filings in Fort Bend County. The estimated cost falls below the county median of $700,000 for this type of work, placing it in the bottom quarter of recent filings. The $9 per square foot cost is also below the county median of $100 per square foot.

Project Status and Record

Although the target completion date of July 2026 has passed, no plan review or inspection has been recorded in the public record. This means it is not confirmed in the TDLR data whether the construction proceeded as scheduled or if the project is finished. The status remains listed as Project Registered. The funding source is private, and the land is designated for private use. There are no public records indicating a change in status or a delay beyond the initial filing dates.

Syed Ali has five other TDLR-registered projects in Richmond, totaling $510,000. These include Highline Business Park and multiple Highland Business park entries, as well as Cajun Chile Trading. Parkview Design & Construction has six other registered projects across Texas, including locations in Houston, Irving, Baytown, and Richmond. These other projects also carry Project Registered status. The area profile for ZIP code 77406 shows a population of about 65,716 and a median household income of $143,023 according to U.S. Census estimates. The Fort Bend County unemployment rate was 5 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier.

The specific scope of pickleball courts suggests a recreational facility rather than a commercial building. The low cost per square foot reflects the nature of the work, which involves site preparation and court installation rather than structural building. The private nature of the land and funding means there is no public tax burden associated with this development. The registration with TDLR ensures that accessibility standards are monitored, although the lack of recorded inspections leaves the final state of the project unverified in the public domain.
