📰About Project
Project Houston is a new 56,989 sq ft facility located at 12550 Timber Forest Drive in Houston, Harris County. The structure is identified in the TDLR filing as Small Molecule Headblock Building 20 and is owned by Eli Lilly and Company. This private development represents a significant investment in the local industrial sector, with an estimated construction cost of $21,000,000.
The scope of work covers the shell building package, which includes the building envelope, primary structural framing, interior stairs, and elevator shafts. Jacobs Engineering Group serves as the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is Meghan Broussard Simecek, ensuring the design meets specific state standards.
TDLR completed plan review in August 2026 and construction is scheduled to finish in June 2027, with work starting July 2026. The project is marked as Review Complete. This timeline places the construction window at 335 days, which is longer than the county median of 219 days for similar new construction filings in Harris County.
Financial and Market Context
The estimated cost of $21,000,000 places this project above the Harris County median for new construction, which stands at $750,000. The cost per square foot is calculated at $368, significantly higher than the county median of $88 per square foot. This reflects the specialized nature of the facility, which is designed for small molecule headblock operations rather than general commercial use.
Eli Lilly and Company has four other TDLR-registered projects in the region, totaling $357,000,000. These include Oligo Manufacturing Building 11, Oligo Headblock Building 10, Small Molecule Manufacturing Building 21, and Small Molecule Utility Building 22.
