McAllen International Airport Parking Lot "A" and Parking Lot "C"

Project Scope and Location

The City of McAllen International Airport is the owner of record for the construction of two new parking lot facilities, designated as Parking Lot A and Parking Lot C. Located at 2500 S. Bicentennial Blvd. in McAllen, Texas, this new construction project spans 87,545 square feet. The filing identifies the work as the construction of two new parking lot facilities, with an estimated total cost of $1,875,785. This translates to a computed cost of $21 per square foot, a figure that sits below the county median of $100 per square foot for similar new construction filings in Hidalgo County.

Perez Consulting Engineers serves as the design firm of record for this project. Jose Ricardo Guerrero is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project involves public funds and public land, and it is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the accessibility program. The registration was completed in June 2026, and TDLR plan review was finalized in August 2026. The construction start date listed in the filing is February 2026, with a scheduled completion date of September 2026.

Construction Status and Regional Context

The scheduled build window for this project is 222 days, which is close to the county median of 212 days for new construction projects in Hidalgo County. The estimated cost of $1,875,785 is above the county median of $660,256 for similar filings, placing it in the top quarter of costs for this type of work in the area. While the filing indicates a completion date of September 2026, the TDLR record has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and the completion status remains unverified by the regulatory body.

Perez Consulting Engineers has been involved in four other TDLR-registered projects in the region, totaling $3,204,723. These include projects for South Texas College in McAllen and Pharr, as well as a project for Payne Mitsubishi in Brownsville. The area surrounding the airport, specifically ZIP code 78503, has a population of about 22,566 people according to U.S. Census estimates. The median household income in this area is $48,765, and the median owner-occupied home value is $130,100. Housing in this ZIP code is mostly owner-occupied, with 8,090 housing units recorded.

The airport itself serves the Rio Grande Valley region, with local coverage noting that it handles traffic for McAllen, Mission, and surrounding areas. A post on the airport's social media page indicates ongoing arrivals and operations, while a news report mentioned temporary disruptions due to an airline IT outage. These third-party references provide context on the airport's operational environment, but the specific construction status of the new parking lots relies solely on the TDLR filing details provided.
