SWERKS, INC in Houston, TX

Swerks, INC is breaking ground on a new 5,400-square-foot office warehouse in Houston, Texas. The facility, located at 16267 North Freeway in Harris County, is designed to function as a mechanic shop. The project was registered with TDLR in May 2026, with construction scheduled to begin in July 2026 and completion targeted for October 2026.

The total estimated cost for this new construction is $405,000, which works out to $75 per square foot. This cost is below the county median for new construction projects in Harris County, while the per-square-foot rate remains close to the regional average of $88. The scheduled build window is 108 days, a duration shorter than the median 219 days for similar filings in the area.

Alejandro Outon is the owner and developer of record for this privately funded project. The work is being carried out on private land for private use. Laura Fulkerson is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project status is listed as Project Registered, with plan review pending.

The construction site is situated in the 77090 ZIP code. U.S. Census estimates for this area indicate a population of approximately 41,843 people. The median household income in the region is $48,196, and the median owner-occupied home value stands at $235,500. Housing in this specific ZIP code is predominantly renter-occupied, with 19,076 total housing units recorded.

Harris County’s unemployment rate was 5.2 percent in July 2026, a figure higher than the rate recorded a year earlier. The project represents a single new construction effort for this owner, with no other active TDLR-registered projects listed under Alejandro Outon’s name at this time. The scope is strictly limited to the proposed office warehouse and mechanic shop facilities.
