Project Scope and Location

The site is located in Harris County, specifically in ZIP code 77063. According to U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates for this ZIP code, the population is about 39,994 with a median household income of $54,509. The area has 22,625 housing units and a median owner-occupied home value of $281,300. This low-risk flood status is a relevant factor for infrastructure construction in the region.

Compared to the 22,042 new construction filings in Harris County, this project’s cost is below the county median of $750,000. The median size for similar filings is 8,990 sq ft, making this 240 sq ft project significantly smaller. The median cost per square foot in the county is $88, whereas this project is estimated at $625 per square foot. The scheduled build window of 389 days is longer than the county median of 219 days. These figures are computed from TDLR filings and provide context for the scale of this specific electrical infrastructure project.

The Harris County unemployment rate was 5.4 percent in June 2026, higher than a year earlier. This labor market context is relevant for any construction workforce planning. The project is strictly private, with no public funding or public use indicated in the TDLR record. The scope is limited to electrical infrastructure, suggesting a utility or power distribution function rather than a retail or residential space. The address includes the designation EV2, which may indicate a specific unit or phase within a larger development, though the TDLR record does not provide further detail on the surrounding property.
