The Compass Operations Facility at 387 North Austin Blvd, Suite 600, in Red Oak, Texas, is undergoing a tenant improvement.

Project Scope and Design

Compass Datacenters DFW III LLC is the owner of record for this renovation. Randall-Paulson Architects serves as the design firm, and Robert Ronson is the registered accessibility specialist. The project is privately funded on private land. This specific alteration is part of a larger development, as the same owner has a separate TDLR-registered project at this address totaling $16,925,000 that is already closed.

The estimated cost of $697,000 places the Compass Operations Facility renovation above the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration filings in Ellis County, which is $230,000. Similarly, the computed cost of $697 per square foot is above the county median of $84 per square foot. The scheduled build window of 91 days is close to the county median of 92 days for similar projects. Local coverage from texasaidocket.com notes that Compass Datacenters purchased the land in Red Oak for a data center project valued at $16,925,000.
