Mailroom / Janitor Closet Relocation

The Centrum at 3102 Oak Lawn, 1st Floor, Dallas, is undergoing a targeted interior renovation focused on the relocation of the mailroom and janitor closet. This specific alteration covers 182 square feet of space within the existing building structure. The project is registered with TDLR as a Renovation/Alteration, with an estimated total cost of $125,000. This figure translates to a cost of $687 per square foot, reflecting the specialized nature of relocating functional support areas within a commercial floor plate.

The work is owned by Turtle Creek Property Owner I, L.P., which has previously completed two other TDLR-registered projects at The Centrum in Dallas. Entos Design serves as the design firm of record for this filing. The registered accessibility specialist responsible for the project is Fred Dean Shinault. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use.

Construction Timeline and Status

TDLR completed plan review in June 2026, and construction was scheduled to begin in the same month. The filing indicates a completion date of August 2026. Although this scheduled date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window for this project was 63 days, which is shorter than the county median of 92 days for similar renovation and alteration filings in Dallas County.

In terms of financial scale, the $125,000 estimated cost is below the median estimated cost of $249,000 for renovation and alteration projects in Dallas County. However, the cost per square foot of $687 is above the county median of $72 per square foot. This discrepancy is typical for small-scale interior alterations where fixed costs for design, permits, and labor are spread over a very small area. The project size of 182 square feet is significantly smaller than the median size of 4,226 square feet for such filings in the region.

Entos Design has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects, totaling over $8.1 million in estimated costs, with locations in Dallas and Addison. The Centrum itself is located in ZIP code 75219, where the U.S. Census Bureau estimates a population of about 25,001 and a median household income of $92,541. The housing stock in this area is mostly renter-occupied, with a median owner-occupied home value of $377,900. These demographic figures provide context for the commercial environment in which this interior relocation is taking place.

The project’s registration status is Review Complete. No additional construction milestones beyond the initial plan review and scheduled completion date are recorded in the public filing. The focus remains strictly on the physical relocation of the mailroom and janitor closet, without indication of broader structural changes or new tenant fit-outs. The record provides no information regarding the operational status of the building or the specific businesses occupying the space, only the scope of the construction work filed with state authorities.
