Pilates White Box Finish Out

A new 1,202-square-foot retail space at 760 N US Hwy 67 Suite 205 in Midlothian is undergoing a finish-out phase under a project name filed as Pilates White Box Finish Out. This new construction effort is scheduled to finish in October 2026, following a start date of August 2026. The estimated cost for this specific phase is $55,000, which calculates to $46 per square foot. This figure sits below the Ellis County median for new construction filings, placing it in the bottom quarter of cost estimates for similar projects in the area.

The owner of record is Midlothian Retail LP, a private entity developing on private land for private use. The project is located in Ellis County within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (zone A). Sheri Bumgardner serves as the registered accessibility specialist for this filing. The registration was completed with TDLR in July 2026, and plan review was finalized in August 2026. Construction activities began in August 2026, aligning with the plan review completion date.

Project Scope and Cost Context

The scope of work is defined strictly as a finish-out for the new construction building. The total square footage of the unit is 1,202 sq ft. The estimated cost of $55,000 is significantly lower than the county median estimated cost of $900,000 for new construction projects. The median size for such filings in Ellis County is 7,500 sq ft, whereas this project is much smaller at 1,202 sq ft. The median cost per square foot in the county is $148, making this project’s $46 per square foot rate distinctively lower than the regional average.

Midlothian Retail LP has one other TDLR-registered project in Midlothian, which is closed and valued at $3,400,000. The current project represents a separate, smaller-scale development effort. The scheduled build window for this finish-out phase is 59 days, from August to October 2026. This duration is shorter than the county median scheduled build window of 244 days for new construction filings. The rapid timeline reflects the limited scope of interior finishing work rather than full structural construction.
