MMR CONSTRUCTORS INC

Project Overview

MMR Constructors INC is building a new 20,000-square-foot office building at 13008 Gulf Commerce Drive in Houston. The project is registered with TDLR under the Texas Accessibility Building Standards (TABS) program, with a status of Review Complete. Construction is scheduled to finish in September 2027, following a start date of September 2026. The estimated cost for this new construction is $5,100,000, which calculates to $255 per square foot.

The site is located in Harris County, specifically within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area designated as zone AE. This classification indicates the property is subject to specific flood risk considerations under federal guidelines. The building is privately funded and situated on private land for private use, with Wycoff Development listed as the design firm of record. Ernest G Taylor serves as the registered accessibility specialist for the project.

MMR Constructors INC is the owner and developer of record for this development. The company holds another TDLR-registered project in Houston with an estimated value of $3,200,000. Wycoff Development has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects in the region, totaling $23,500,000 in estimated costs. These include facilities in Webster, Mont Belvieu, and other parts of the Houston metropolitan area. The design firm’s portfolio reflects a range of commercial and industrial construction activities across the county.
