Katy, TX

Local Westgate LLC is renovating a 3,672 sq ft space at 19504 Katy Freeway in Katy, Texas, to house a new Consumer Cellular retail store. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), involves a comprehensive interior tenant improvement valued at $400,000. Construction started in August 2026 and is scheduled to finish in November 2026.

The scope of work covers the full interior fit-out of the retail space. This includes installing new fixtures, furniture, and equipment, along with interior partitions and doors. The renovation also encompasses ceiling modifications, interior finishes, and lighting upgrades. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are being modified to support the new tenant’s operational needs.
