Crossroads District in Temple, TX

Barks + Bliss Veterinary Wellness is adding two new exam rooms to its existing clinic at 608 Hilliard Rd. in Temple, Texas. The expansion project, filed under the name Crossroads District, involves specific structural and mechanical work to the current building. This addition is estimated to add 210 square feet of space to the facility.

The scope of work includes adding to the foundation, installing structural framing, and updating mechanical and electrical systems. The total estimated cost for this construction is $153,000. This figure places the project below the median estimated cost for similar additions to existing buildings in Bell County, which stands at $600,000.

Project Timeline and Status

The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in June 2026. TDLR completed the plan review process in the same month. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 and is scheduled to finish in October 2026. This timeline represents a build window of 101 days, which is shorter than the county median of 213 days for comparable projects.

The owner of record for this development is 610 Hilliard LLC. The registered accessibility specialist overseeing the project is Brandon Mark Quimbey. The work is privately funded and located on private land for private use. The site is situated outside the FEMA 1-percent annual-chance floodplain, designated as zone X.

In terms of cost efficiency, the project’s estimated $729 per square foot is above the county median of $139 per square foot for this type of work. Despite the higher per-square-foot cost, the total project size of 210 square feet is significantly smaller than the median size of 7,026 square feet for similar filings in the area.

The clinic is located in ZIP code 76502, an area with a population of about 51,175 and a median household income of $80,504, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Third-party listings describe the business as providing full-service small animal veterinary care. A Facebook post by the business indicated a groundbreaking event in Temple, Texas, though the TDLR record confirms the current status is active construction planning and execution.
