Project

Project Houston, also known as Oligo Headblock Building 10, is under construction at 12550 Timber Forest Dr in Houston. The new structure covers 52,085 sq ft and is scheduled to finish in June 2027. This project represents a significant expansion of Eli Lilly and Company’s footprint in Harris County, with an estimated cost of $24,000,000.

The filing identifies the work as a shell building package. This scope includes the building envelope, primary structural framing, interior stairs, and elevator shafts. The construction phase began in July 2026. TDLR completed the plan review process in August 2026, clearing the path for ongoing site activities.

CRB Architects P.C. serves as the design firm of record for this development. Meghan Broussard Simecek is the registered accessibility specialist listed in the TDLR documentation. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use.

Regional Context and Scale

This development is part of a broader investment by Eli Lilly and Company in the Houston area. The owner has five other TDLR-registered projects in the region, totaling nearly $400 million in estimated costs. These include the Oligo Manufacturing Building 11 and Small Molecule Headblock Building 20. CRB Architects P.C. has also designed other large-scale facilities for the company, such as the Oligo Manufacturing Building 11.

The estimated cost of $461 per square foot places this project above the Harris County median for new construction. The scheduled build window of 364 days is longer than the county median of 219 days. These figures reflect the complexity of the shell and structural work required for a facility of this size. The project remains in the construction phase.
