📰About RICE COB 3FL RENO
The Rice COB 3Fl Reno project involves a focused renovation of the third-floor human resources lobby at the Cambridge Office Building, located at 6100 Main in Houston. This 440-square-foot alteration is owned by Rice University and has an estimated cost of $115,000. The work is classified as a renovation and alteration within Harris County, targeting specific interior spaces for update.
Project Scope and Registration
The filing describes the work as a remodel of the HR office lobby area. The registered accessibility specialist for this TDLR project is Amelia Y C Lee. The project was registered with TDLR in July 2026, and plan review is pending. Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2026, with completion targeted for December 2026. The status is Project Registered, indicating that the administrative steps for the renovation are in progress.
Financially, the estimated cost of $115,000 places this renovation below the Harris County median for similar alteration filings, which stands at $250,000. However, the cost per square foot is $261, which is above the county median of $80 per square foot for renovation and alteration projects. This suggests a higher intensity of work or specialized finishes for the relatively small 440-square-foot space compared to the average scale of such projects in the region.
The site is located in a FEMA moderate-risk flood zone, designated as Zone X, which indicates a 0.2 percent annual chance of flooding. This classification is relevant for construction planning and insurance considerations, though it does not indicate high-risk flood exposure. The surrounding area, ZIP code 77005, has a median household income of $215,708 and a median owner-occupied home value of $1,354,300, reflecting a high-income residential and commercial mix in this part of Houston.
Rice University has six other TDLR-registered projects in the area, totaling nearly $2 million, including renovations at Keck Hall and the George R. Brown building. City of Houston permit records show 14 permits on file at this specific street address, issued between February and August 2026, covering various building and office remodels. This activity suggests a period of significant interior updates across the building, with this HR lobby renovation forming one part of that broader effort.
