Austin Industries Corporate Executive Office

Katy Trail Place is undergoing an interior renovation at 3535 Travis Street in Dallas, a project filed under the name Austin Industries Corporate Executive Office. The work involves the alteration of 7,043 square feet of space on the second floor, specifically Suite 265. This renovation is privately funded and takes place on private land for private use, with an estimated cost of $158,595. The project is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the TABS program, ensuring compliance with state accessibility standards during the construction phase.

Project Scope and Timeline

Construction on the Katy Trail Place renovation began in July 2026. TDLR completed the plan review process in August 2026, clearing the way for the physical work to proceed as scheduled. The filing indicates that construction is scheduled to finish in September 2026. This timeline represents a build window of 62 days, which is shorter than the 92-day median scheduled build window for similar renovation and alteration projects in Dallas County. The rapid timeline suggests a focused effort to complete the interior updates efficiently within the existing structure.

The financial profile of this project is distinct from the broader market. The estimated cost of $158,595 is below the median estimated cost of $248,000 for renovation and alteration filings in the county. Furthermore, the cost per square foot is calculated at $23, which is significantly below the county median of $72 per square foot for comparable work. This lower cost per unit area may reflect the specific nature of the interior alterations or the scale of the suite being modified relative to larger facility-wide renovations.

Location and Ownership Context

The project is located in Dallas County, specifically within the 75204 ZIP code. Census estimates for this area indicate a population of about 33,552 and a median household income of $93,007. The housing stock in this ZIP code is predominantly renter-occupied, with a median owner-occupied home value of $451,900. The owner of record for this project is Katy Trail Place, Inc., which also holds a closed registration for the Travis Building in Dallas, valued at $185,000.

Robert T Pierce is the registered accessibility specialist associated with this filing. The project status is listed as Review Complete by TDLR. While local third-party descriptions, such as those found on commercial real estate social media, describe Katy Trail Place as a 116,309 square foot office building in Uptown with access to Central Expressway, the TDLR record focuses specifically on the interior renovation of the designated suite. The distinction between the overall building footprint and the specific 7,043 square feet undergoing renovation is important for understanding the scope of this particular registration.
